Question 3 • *MPS SS221-CR U.S. History S1 2023-24

Which of the following best describes relations between colonists and American Indians in the early days of the Georgia colony?

Answer
A
Relations were good due to the policies of James Oglethorpe.
B
Relations were poor due to the policies of William Berkeley.
C
Relations were strained due to the Tuscarora War.
D
Relations improved following Bacon’s Rebellion.

Explanation

James Oglethorpe generally maintained peaceful relations with American Indian groups near the early Georgia colony through diplomacy and trade. The Tuscarora War and Bacon’s Rebellion were conflicts in other colonies, not the main explanation for relations in early Georgia. Therefore, the best answer is that relations were good due to Oglethorpe’s policies.
