Answer:

The correct answer is A. The ban on slavery was blamed for slow economic growth, and slavery became legal in 1750.

Explanation:

On 1732, James Oglethorpe was granted the government of Georgia, and one of his first steps as governor was the prohibition of slavery in the new colony. The main reason for this decision was due to the fear that African slaves would flee to the neighboring Spanish colony of Florida and ally with the Spanish to destabilize the British settlements in Georgia. The trickle of fugitive slaves from South Carolina to Florida had been more or less continuous since the 1690s, thanks to a Royal Charter of Charles II that guaranteed freedom for all former British slaves who managed to reach Spanish territory fleeing from their owners.

Against Oglethorpe's first plan, the debtors decreased after the arrival of the first ship, the Anne, and instead the colony was populated mostly by ruined English merchants and craftsmen and refugees fleeing Switzerland and Germany for religious reasons. The lack of slaves caused a deficit in the economy of the colony, based on the cultivation of cotton as in neighboring Carolina, and soon settlers began to raise their protests against Oglethorpe. The discontent of the population was followed by an exodus of settlers to South Carolina, to which was added soon a new danger: the breakdown of peace with the Spanish due to the War of Jenkins' Ear, which broke out in 1739.

The colony was in crisis and a Spanish invasion would surely end destroying it. In order to avoid this, Oglethorpe reunited the forces to its position and, after allying itself with the Ahaya head of the Seminola, sent a series of incursions in Spanish territory. The much feared Spanish invasion came in 1742, although after a series of skirmishes on the island of St. Simmons known as the Battle of Bloody Marsh, Oglethorpe got the Spaniards to retreat making them believe that he was about to receive a large number of reinforcements from Carolina. However, this success was marred by the accusation of being a supporter of the Jacobite rebels, which cost him a military trial of which he was acquitted, and the continual criticism of the settlers, which forced him to restitute slavery finally in 1750.

Give examples of house the expansion and centralization lead to resistance from groups on a local level
faust18 [17]

Answer and Explanation:

Expansion and centralization encourages disadvantaged groups to come together and resist State attempts to promote new policies to these groups. These groups, feeling devalued and threatened by centralization and expansion, whether at the social, political or economic level, they feel that they need to defend themselves in their local environments. Several examples of this can be cited as the Cossack revolt, the Pueblo revolt and the resistance of the Brazilian quilombola communities.

Assessment: Introductory Paragraph & Thesis
bixtya [17]
I think that This is correct, the very reason for English settlers coming to U.S is haphazard. They came here in search for religious freedom from the British crown, and forced there way onto America. From then on they have used the land, gotten sick and died, searched for treasure destroyed the land and fought with Indians. The situations that brought them to settle in America and their dissensions afterwords set the building blocks for an extremely haphazard way of life. They killed many Indians made treaties and broke them, mined the earth for oil and made war with Brittan 2 times. Also their greed for money and industrialization was also out of control. All in all the settlements of early America, was forced due to oppression and was never gilded into a thoughtful manner. 

All this needs is specific detail which i can't do since i don't have your book or curriculum.
