SPANISH MISSIONS IN LA FLORIDA
THE SPANISH BUILT MISSIONS (CHURCH OUTPOSTS) ALL
OVER THE SOUTHEAST IN AN EFFORT TO TURN THE
NATIVES INTO CATHOLIC CHRISTIANS. THE LEADER OF
THE MISSION WAS CALLED A FRIAR FEW SOLDIERS WERE
STATIONED AT THE MISSION TO PROTECT IT.
MISSIONS WERE THE KEY TO SPAINS ATTEMPT TO
COLONIZE. IT WAS ALSO A TRADING POST BETWEEN
THE NATIVES AND THE SPANISH.

DIVIDING GEORGIA INTO 2 SPANISH PROVINCES
SPAIN DIVIDED GEORGIA INTO 2 PROVINCES GUALE IN
THE NORTH (SAVANNAH TO THE ALTAMAHA RIVER) MOCAMA
IN THE SOUTH (ALTAMAHA TO THE ST. MARYS
RIVER) MANY OF THE INDIANS DID NOT LIKE THE
PRESENCE OF THE SPANISH, AND THEY ROSE UP
KILLING MANY FRIARS.
THIS WAS TRUE ON ST. CATHERINES ISLAND IN
GEORGIA WHERE AN INDIAN NAMED JUANILLO LED AN
UPRISING THAT LED TO THE DEATH OF 5 MISSIONARIES.

MERCANTILISM
ENGLAND HAD IT FIGURED OUT. THE WAY TO POWER AND
WEALTH WAS LAND OWNERSHIP, COLONIZATION, AND
TRADE. MERCANTILISM WAS A SIMPLE ECONOMIC
PHILOSOPHY. 1. MOTHER COUNTRY STARTS A
COLONY. 2. COLONY PROVIDES MOTHER COUNTRY WITH
RESOURCES. 3. MOTHER COUNTRY GUARDS AND PROTECTS
COLONY. 4. MOTHER COUNTRY BECOMES SELF
SUFFICIENT.
GETTING RICH THROUGH SELLING MORE TO OTHERS THAN
YOU BUY FROM THEM!
7
THE SECRET TO MAKING MERCANTILISM WORK WAS TO
FIND A PRODUCT THAT DID VERY WELL IN THE
COLONY. IN VIRGINIA, IT WAS TOBACCO.
8
THE COLONIES WERE A MONEY MAKING BONANZA FOR
WEALTHY BRITISH CITIZENS, BUT THEY ALSO SAW IT
AS A PLACE THEY COULD SEND WHAT THEY CONSIDERED
TO BE UNDESIREABLE PEOPLE MEANING THE POOR,
HOMELESS, AND CRIMINALLY ACTIVE.
9
RELIGIOUS FREEDOM
PURITANS
STILL ANOTHER REASON WOULD BE TO GIVE THOSE WHO
WANTED TO WORSHIP AS THEY SAW FIT, A PLACE TO DO
JUST THAT.
10
PURITANS WHO WANTED TO LEAVE
PURITANS WHO WANTED TO LEAVE WERE CALLED
SEPERATISTS. THESE WERE THE PILGRIMS.
MAYFLOWER
THANKSGIVING
NOT EVERYONE WHO SAILED ON THE MAYFLOWER CAME
HERE FOR RELIGIOUS REGIONS, BUT THEY CAME AND
STARTED THE MASSACHUSETTS BAY COLONY.

TYPES OF COLONIES

• 3 TYPES OF COLONIES WERE STARTED AS GRANTS FROM
  THE
• KING TO A PERSON, GROUP, OR COMPANY.
• CHARTERS WERE GRANTED FOR MANY REASONS, USUALLY
• FOR DEFENSE, TRADE, OR RELIGIOUS REASONS.
• CORPORATE COLONY GRANTED TO A JOINT STOCK
• COMPANY EXAMPLE VIRGINIA
• PROPRIETARY COLONY GRANTED TO A PERSON OR
• SMALL GROUP PERSONALLY BY THE KING. EXAMPLE
• PENNSYLVANIA
• ROYAL COLONY COLONY OPERATED DIRECTLY BY THE
• BRITISH GOVERNMENT THROUGH A ROYAL GOVERNOR
• APPOINTED BY THE KING. EXAMPLE NONE STARTED
• THIS WAY, BUT BY THE END OF COLONIAL TIMES, MOST
• ALL ENDED UP THIS WAY. EXAMPLE GEORGIA

12
WHAT LED TO THE CREATION OF GEORGIA?
6 OF THE 13 COLONIES CREATED WAS CAROLINA THE
KING OF ENGLAND WAS OPERATING IN OPEN DEFIANCE OF
WHAT SPAIN SAID WAS THEIR LAND. CHARLESTOWN (NOW
CHARLESTON) ANGERED THE SPANISH VERY MUCH BY
1685, ENGLAND HAD FORCED SPAIN COMPLETELY OUT OF
GEORGIA. WITH SPAIN STILL IN FLORIDA, AND INDIANS
STILL FIGHTING AGAINST THE ENGLISH ON THE SIDE
OF THE SPANISH, ENGLAND NEEDED A BUFFER BETWEEN
FLORIDA AND CAROLINA (BY THIS TIME NOW NORTH AND
SOUTH CAROLINA)

WHEN FIRST SERIOUS PROPOSAL 1717 WHOSIR ROBERT
MONTGOMERY WHERE LAND BETWEEN THE SAVANNAH AND
ALTAMAHA RIVERS WHY FALSE ADVERTISEMENT

UNIVERSE COST MONTGOMERY SAID HE WOULD PAY FOR
IT HIMSELF NAME TO BE CALLED AZILIA PRODUCTS TO
BE PRODUCED SILK AND WINE PURPOSE TO SERVE AS
A BUFFER BETWEEN SPANISH FLORIDA AND
ENGLISH COLONY OF SOUTH

14
OTHER PROPOSALS WERE MADE, BUT NO OTHER CAME TO
BE UNTIL THIS MAN, JAMES EDWARD OGLETHORPE MADE
A MOVEMENT TO CREATE A NEW COLONY SOUTH
OF CAROLINA. THE NEW COLONY WOULD BE
CALLED GEORGIA AS SUGGESTED BY JEAN PIERRE PURRY
OF SWITZERLAND IN HONOR OF THE KING OF ENGLAND
AT THE TIME KING GEORGE II.
