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
