Salzburgers• After Savannah was founded, more and more

people left England for Georgia.

• The largest ethnic group during the Trustee Period were German Protestants from Salzburg (Austria today).

• The Salzburgers came to Georgia in 1734 seeking religious freedom and hoping to establish a silk industry in the colony.

Page 14: The Colonial Period © 2014 Brain Wrinkles SS8H2bc.

Salzburgers• The Salzburgers were given land 25 miles

north of Savannah that they named Ebenezer (“the Rock of Help”).

• In Ebenezer, they planted mulberry trees and cultivated silk from silkworms that fed on the leaves.

• They were also successful in lumber production, cattle raising, and agriculture.

Highland Scots• Oglethorpe was concerned with the military

threat posed by the Spanish in Florida so he recruited another group of immigrants to help defend the colony.

• In January 1736, 177 Scottish soldiers known as the Highland Scots established the town of Darien.

Highland Scots• The Highland Scots were well-known for

bravery in battle.

• They established successful timber and cattle industries.

• The Highland Scots created the first Presbyterian Church in Georgia.

Battle of Bloody Marsh• Oglethorpe was smart to fortify Georgia with soldiers

and forts.

• In July 1742, Spanish troops attacked the fort on St. Simons Island.

• Oglethorpe’s much smaller force (including the Highland Scots) defeated them in the Battle of Bloody Marsh.

• After this battle, the Spanish gave up all claims to Georgia.

Malcontents• The Trustees had set up rules for the colony,

including no slavery, no selling of land, and no liquor.

• They wanted to create a classless society where there were no rich or poor people and each man worked his own land.

• Colonists called “malcontents” were not happy and demanded the Trustees make some changes.

© 2014 Brain Wrinkles

Page 23: The Colonial Period © 2014 Brain Wrinkles SS8H2bc.

Malcontents• The malcontents believed that the Trustees’

policies kept the colony from prospering.

• They saw how successful South Carolina was because of slavery.
