1. A.) Plantation owners needed a stable and permanent workforce
Georgia was a territory that had its economy mostly based around the agriculture. There were lot of large plantations with cash crops, the majority of which were for export in Europe. The cash crops were bringing in a lot of profit to Georgia.
The white population was not that large though, and it was definitely not large enough to be able to work the farmlands with the cash crops. This resulted in bringing in African slaves as labor force for the plantations. Gradually, more and more slaves were brought into Georgia, so the population of the slaves was constantly on the rise.
2. A) They needed help raising products
Between the Southern and Northern states tensions started to rise because of the slavery. The Northern states wanted to abolish the slavery, while the Southern states wanted to have slavery. This resulted in a petition from the people of Southern states in order to keep the slavery legal, as the slaves were the major workforce.
The economies of these states were based on the agriculture. The slaves were the major labor force, and without their labor there was not a chance that the farmlands would have been able to survive. This brought in lot of panic and discontent among the people of Georgia, as if the slavery was abolished they were going to lose the free labor force, and even they paid for it, there was no guarantee that the former slaves would want to engage into agriculture anymore.
