Gustavo Sheppard · Answer 1

The colony's economy depended on trade with Great Britain.

Explanation:

During that time, most of the products of the Georgia were exported to English Navy. Also, England and West Indies were the most important market for trade o the Georgians. Other than trade, protection from the British government was another reason for slow support to American Revolution.

They didn't believe the new-born country could protect them from neighbouring threats of Spanish and French from south and west respectively. They believed much in the protection of one of most powerful nations, England.
