what was one of the main reasons why georgia hesitated to join in the revolutionary cause?

One of the main reasons Georgia hesitated to join the revolutionary cause was its prosperity under British rule and its reliance on British protection against Native American attacks. Many Georgians were recent immigrants from Britain and felt strong ties to the mother country, including loyalty to the royal governor Sir James Wright. The colony's frontier was vulnerable to attacks by Native American groups allied with the British, such as the Creeks and Cherokees, which made many residents reluctant to break away from British protection. Additionally, Georgia had a large Loyalist population and was economically dependent on Britain, which contributed to its initial hesitation. Georgia was the only colony not represented at the First Continental Congress in 1774 due to these divisions and concerns about security and prosperity under British rule
