The Trustee Period (1733-1752) was an extremely difficult time in
Georgia’s history:
1. Unlike prosperous South Carolina, Georgia was unable to grow
large amounts of crops to benefit England. Aside from small
crops of rice and silk, most farmers struggled in Georgia.
2. Georgia’s settlers lived under the constant threat of attack from
Spain.
3. Many settlers became unhappy with Georgia’s policies,
particular the rules against slavery and land ownership. They
were so troublesome to the Trustees that they were called the
malcontents (because they were discontent with life in Georgia).
