The history of Georgia highlights the early Native American cultures skilled in stonework and pottery, as well as the unique marriage customs among tribes like the Creeks. Initially, the colony's founders opposed slavery, but economic pressures led to petitions for its introduction. Georgia's military successes against Spanish invasions reinforced its status as a military colony, ultimately transitioning from a trustee system to a royal province governed by the Board of Trade.
