James Wright (1716-1785) was the third governor of the colony of Georgia. He was born in London, England, and always was loyal to the British crown. He diligently served the English king and supported the permanent taxations imposed by the English government. Although the people from Georgia was upset by the taxes, he made everything on his hands to delay any rebellion in the colony, when in other colonies of the North American territory, rebellions had already started.
