Climate and Geography of this Glistening and Wonderful Peachy Colony: Georgia is three hundred miles long and 200 miles wide. The latitude and longitude is 81 to 85 degrees West and 30 to 35 degrees North. Georgia has North Carolina to the north and Spanish Florida to the south. Along Georgia's Atlantic coat, it has beatiful, soft beaches and distant islands that look amazing at sunset. Inland, this goober state has vast forests of pines and other trees where huge bears and soft dears live, waiting to be captured and eaten. In the north, the tall Appalachian Mountains rise high above the earth. The Okefenokee Swamp, with large marshes and very fertile soil and many resourceful animals is in the southeast in this tolerated colony. Georgis is surrounded by water on three sides with the Savannah River to the south, the Atlamaha River to the north, and the Atlantic ocean to the East. The only city of importance in Georgia is Savannah which is right on the Savannah River. Georgia also has a very favorable humid subtropical climate with mild winters and hot, moist summers. The only rivers of importance is the Savannah River and the Atlamaha River. The average precipitation is 40 inches to 75 inches throught all of Georgia. The mountain region to the north has colder weather with occasional snow during the winter months.

The Beginning of the Debtors Colony of Georgia: This colony was founded by James Olgerthorpe in 1732. James wants Georgia to be a place where poor people or debtors could come to have a new start. James will pay for your voyage because if you are a debtor, you will have no money. At first James made laws ruling no slave labor and that farms could be no larger than fifty acres. Olgerthorpe changed his mind about these laws though later on because the colony was not dveloping very well. He permits larger plantations and slave labor now because it will make the colony grow faster. In 1733, Olgethorpe and 120 colonists built Georgia's first permanent settlement on the Savannah River. This city is called Savannah. Savannah is very wealthy and has very fertile land to grow tons of useful and delicious crops. Come to Savannah City to have a new start and a fresh beginning.

Delicious Products and Productive Occupations In Inspirable Georgia: Nearly all people in England who live in Georgia farm. Even if you work as a doctor, lawyer, teacher, merchant, shoemaker, carpenter, or blacksmith, you will farm. It is very rare for families in Georgia to buy all of their food. In Georgia, this is the social class: Most of the people that come from England to Georgia will fall in the 2nd of 3rd class.
 * At the bottom are slaves imported from Africa that work for the more wealthy people.
 * After them, there are indentured servants that had their voyage paid by wealthy people but after seven years of working as servants, they recieve their own peice of land and all the tools they need to start their own buisness.
 * After them, there are just normal farmers.
 * After them, there are merchants, lawyers, teachers, doctors, blacksmiths, shoemakers, and carpenters.
 * After them, there are plantation owners that usually live very very close to Savannah and it's river. These people had many slaves that worked as pesonal slaves and as slaves that worked on the plantation ground.

There are many delicious and useful crops and natural resources found in Georgia. Right now, cotton, gron on large plantations, is Georgia's main crop. It is very useful for household objects and clothes for all people around the world. Many varieties of vegetables and foods are a fruit called peaches, a very interesting product called goobers(peanuts), and rice. Both of these items taste very delicious, along with many other fruits and vegetables. Another very large and succesful item is tobacco. Some animlas that we eat in Georgia is the large mouth bass along with many other tasty fish in the Savannah River,alligators, bear, deer, and many birds located in the Okefenokee Swamp in southern Georgia. Georgia also uses Indigo for dying clothing and many other things blue. Positive Letters from Settlers in Georgia: //The River her forms a half-moon, around the south side of which the banks are about forty feet high, and on the top a flat, which they call a bluff. The plain, high ground extends into the coun try for about five or six miles, and along the river for about a mile... Upon the riverside, in the center of the plain, I have laid out the town.... The river is pretty wide, the water fresh.... For about six miles up in the country the landscape is very agreeable, the stream being wide and bordered with high woods on both sides.// This letter was written in February of 1733 by James Olgerthorpe, who had just founded Savannah, the first town in the Georgia colony.

This Colony Will live for ETERNITY!: Georgia will defenitely become a royal state. It will be very succesful in selling products made from it. There will probably be many new discoveries and technologies found in Georgia. Georgia will also become a home to many famous people. Georgia will defenitely coninue being a leader in selling goobers, peaches, and many other farm products and who knows, maybe plantations will grow even larger, with a better and bigger variety of crops and products? Although Georgia does not allow slaves or alchohol now, it soon will so come to Georgia and maybe even become one of the many famous people that WILL live there.

Giving Entertainment for Children: Children in Georgia almost always created their own games. Because there is nothing very different about Goergia's climate and geography, children did not have many games based on their geography. Some competetive games that they play are quoits(horeshoe) and crickets. Children also fished and hunted with their fathers on the Atlantic coast or on the river banks. Children can also sail on the rivers, play on the beaches, swim in the rivers, and play made up games that are always made to have fun. Children also watched and learned how to horserace, play backgammon, and skittles(bowling). Children also made dolls out of wood or cloth and played with those.Children in Georgia made up their fun and played their games whenever they could.

Possible, but also Not Possiible Risks of coming to Georgia: One risk of coming to Georgia is that if you do come and you are and indentured servant, you should know that you will have to work on a plantation for many years until you can become a free man. Also, in Georgia, beware of the Spanish from Florida. Also, women that come to Georgia are not allowed to particapate in any games such as hosreracing and gambling and alcohol is not allowed in Georgia because of James Olgerthorpes's law. Because there are so little risks of coming to Geoprgia, I cannot think of any more!
