Rhode Island was the first to pay for the land taken from the Indians on a state level (Patent for Providence Plantations, 1643). (A State of the Province of Georgia, 1740). This was especially true for Georgians, for whom many trade relations were tied to the Indians. Contrary to slavery, settlers maintained trade relations with the Natives in both colonies. Georgian authorities tried to forbid slavery, but the colonists rebelled against it, while Rhode Island was the most significant center of the slave trade in New England. Religious freedoms attracted people to settle in Georgia and Rhode Island, growing their economic potential.Ĭoncerning slavery, both Georgian and Rhode Island colonists benefited from enslaved people used on plantations and slave trade in the North. It was founded by people escaping the lack of religious acceptance in other Northern territories. However, it is pretty unusual for New England colonies like Rhode Island, which had guaranteed freedom of religion. It is not unique to Southern colonies in Georgia, the liberty to exercise any religion except Roman Catholicism was provided.
Another striking similarity is widespread religious freedoms and tolerance.
