After the passage of the Sugar Act, most Georgians

Answer
A
called for independence from Britain.
B
moved from the coast to inland areas.
C
continued to support British rule.
D
stopped importing sugar.

Explanation

The Sugar Act of 1764 taxed certain imports, but most Georgians did not join the growing protest movement against Britain at that point. Georgia was a relatively new colony and depended on British military and economic support, so most residents continued to support British rule. The best answer is “continued to support British rule.”
