Trustees’ Rules For The Colony Of Georgia 1735
Imagine how different Georgia would be today if Oglethorpe’s original rules
had continued to be observed:
- Labor, clear, and fence the land
- Guard against the enemy
- Set self up with craft
- Plant mulberry trees upon 50 acres and other such crops
- Hard liquor, such as rum, is forbidden
- No slavery
- No unlicensed trading with the Indians
- No lawyers in the Georgia Land
