Answer 1

The correct answer is:

• Women would be allowed to own land.
• Undesirable settlers were encouraged to claim lands in Georgia's western frontier.

Explanation:

Georgia was the last of the 13 Colonies to become a Royal colony and the last to join the American Revolution. Before Georgia became a Royal colony, it was a Trustee colony, founded by James Oglethorpe.

Georgia had three Royal governors, that acted as Representatives of the King, its first Royal governor was John Reynolds in 1754. When Georgia became a Royal colony many things changed, undesirable settlers (mostly Scot-Irish) established on the frontier of Georgia. Royal governors allowed colonists and women to own land but African Americans and poor people couldn't. Georgia transitioned from not allowing slavery during the Trustee government, to allow slavery under the Royal government.
