Question

James Wright was an effective and admired colonial Georgia governor. His popularity with the colonists allowed him to A) encourage more colonists to establish communities in Georgia's frontier. B) expand Georgia's territory through negotiations with the Cherokee tribe. C) establish a settlement bearing his name on the banks of the Little River. D) stand against the wave of revolutions long after other colonies had rebelled.

Answer 1

Answer:

D) stand against the wave of revolutions long after other colonies had rebelled.

Explanation:

James was the last British governor of the Province of Georgia. His popularity among the colonists allowed him to have control over his colony during the American revolutionary war. He was the only Royal governor of the thirteen Colonies at that time. While never fully in control of the state during the revolution, he did restore large areas within Georgia to colonial rule. That makes Georgia the only colony that was regained by the British once they had been expelled.
