Question

What were the three major issues the Malcontents had with the Georgia?

Answer 1

Answer:

Three major issues the Malcontents had with the colonial government are that a) local authority was too controlling, b) they restricted land ownership, and c) they restricted slavery.

Explanation:

The Malcontents were a group of settlers in Georgia who were unhappy with the way the colony was being administered. The Malcontents were largely Scottish settlers who came later to the colony.  Examples of Malcontents are Patrick Tailfer and Thomas Stephens. Early settlers had received some financial incentives from the Trustees, but for the Malcontents this kind of assistance was not provided. They were upset that the local government was putting limits on how much land each individual could own and restricting them from the ownership of slaves. The Malcontents felt this was limiting their economic potential.
