  New Georgia Encyclopedia: Trustee Georgia, 1732-1752
Oglethorpe and his friends decided to add the Bray legacy to the funds in hand for the purpose of establishing a new colony between the Savannah and Altamaha rivers, in territory claimed by both the province of South Carolina and the Spanish colony of Florida.
The Trustees did not want to appoint a single governor because the king in council had to approve the appointment of governors, and the Trustees preferred to keep control in their hands.
Especially embarrassing was the list of grievances presented on the floor of Parliament by Thomas Stephens, son of the Trustees' agent in Georgia, William Stephens.

Governor Benavides reported that "the English will never be satisfied" except by the return of their slaves.10 Despite British intimations of war, the Council of the Indies recommended against returning the escaped slaves.
Governor Montiano restated the crown's offer of freedom to escaped slaves from the English colonies in a Bando issued in 1738, and in the same year he established a settlement for the fugitives, called Gracia Real de Santa Teresa de Mose, about onehalf league north of St. Augustine.
The governor justified his actions on the basis that Mose was vital to the defense and to the agricultural provisioning of St. Augustine, although he admitted that recurrent illnesses among the fls prevented the latter.24 To assuage the fears of the residents, Mose was more heavily fortified in the following years.

Governor Patrick Gordon was sympathetic to the measure, but, while he appeared willing to ignore Hannah Penn's instructions to his predecessor, he hesitated to offend the Board of Trade.
The two governors cited royal instructions or the length of the excise taxes needed to support some of the proposed emissions as the reasons for their vetos.
The Assembly, however, pointedly asked the governor why a week earlier he was able to grant hundreds of thousands of proprietary acres to volunteers who would enlist, but believed himself prohibited from allowing the proprietary estates to be subject to a land tax.

 COLONIAL AMERICA
Though religious toleration had been introduced into other colonies previously by individual proprietors or governors, this was the earliest legislative enactment in America asserting the principle of religious toleration.
Governor Berkeley, who had been Governor since 1642, had Charles II proclaimed as King and invited him to assume the administration of Virginia.
According to the Act all English possessions could allow only English or Colonial vessels entrance to their ports; certain articles, produced in the colonies, such as sugar and tobacco, were known as "enumerated" goods, and were to be shipped to England only.

 The Colonial Currency
Colonial paper currency, generally called bills of credit, was issued on two bases: on the credit of the colony supported by tax funds, and on loan.
The existing colonial price indices based upon the prices of a few commodities bought or sold in foreign commerce are in no way indicative of the general price level.10 The colonial prices of such commodities depend predominantly upon the conditions of supply and demand in foreign markets and on the rate of exchange.
In the case of New England and the Middle colonies, where direct trade between the colonies and Britain was at a minimum, it was necessary for the colonies to have recourse to a roundabout trade to procure the necessary bills of exchange and specie to pay their adverse balances with Britain.

 The French & Indian War
The French and Indian War, as it was referred to in the colonies, was the beginning of open hostilities between the colonies and Gr.
The colonies were wholly interested in overcoming the French in North America and appealed to the King for permission to raise armies and monies to defend themselves.* Despite sincere petitions from the royal governors, George II was suspicious of the intentions of the colonial governments and declined their offer.
It led communities throughout the colonies to question British authorities who would demand horses, feed, wagons, and quarters — but deny colonials the right to fight in defense of the Empire, a right which they considered central to their self-image as Englishmen.

 THE NAVIGATION ACTS
Throughout the colonial period, after the middle of the seventeenth century, the one great source of irritation between the mother country and her colonies was found in the Navigation Acts.
The northern colonies, which produced the same kinds of goods as England produced, and consequently were barred from the English trade, suffered deeply by the trade laws, while the southern colonies, which raised commodities, such as tobacco and rice, which could not be duplicated in England, suffered far less.
To correct this and to discourage manufacturing in the colonies, Parliament offered bounties on American hemp, lumber, tar, turpentine, etc. So effective was this law, passed in Anne's reign, that England was soon exporting a surplus of these articles received from her colonies.
