Question 7

To determine the main reason for the British founding of the Georgia Colony, we analyze each option:

• Option A: Relations with American Indians were not a primary founding reason.
• Option B: Georgia's founding was not mainly for deepwater ports or European trade.
• Option C: Georgia was founded as a buffer to protect British colonies from Spanish Florida's aggression, which is historically accurate.
• Option D: Trade with French colonists was not a key factor.

To identify why Highland Scots were ideal settlers in Georgia's Trustee Period, we analyze each option:

• Option A: Highland Scots were Presbyterian, not Catholic. This is incorrect.
• Option B: They had a strong work ethic, which was valuable.
• Option C: Their military experience helped defend the colony.
• Option D: They opposed slavery, aligning with Trustee Period rules. But the question asks for the reason they were NOT ideal (implied by "for all of the following reasons" with one exception, likely A as their faith was Presbyterian, not Catholic).

Answer:

C. to defend the more established British colonies from Spanish aggression
