Debate in Georgia

Question 2 • GA-GSE Grade 8 Georgia Studies

Although patriots in Georgia opposed the new laws, they were divided on how to fight them. Why was this the case?

Answer
A
They did not believe that boycotting British goods would make a difference.
B
Many were secretly loyalists who were undermining the patriots’ cause.
C
Many Georgians still supported the king, which made it harder to fight Britain.
D
Most colonists wanted independence, but were afraid to go to war with Britain.

Explanation

Many Georgians opposed the new laws but still felt loyalty to the king and Britain. That divided people over how strongly to resist, making organized opposition more difficult. Choice C captures this conflict; the question does not suggest that fear of war or doubts about boycotts were the main cause.
