Question

What was one of the MAIN reasons why Georgia hesitated to join in the Revolutionary cause?

Answer 1

Though Georgians opposed British trade regulations, many hesitated to join the revolutionary movement that emerged in the American colonies in the early 1770s and resulted in the Revolutionary War (1775-83). The colony had prospered under royal rule, and many Georgians thought that they needed the protection of British troops against a possible Indian attack.

Answer 2

The correct answer is C: Many Georgians thought they needed the protection of British troops.
