Georgia Experiment

The Georgia Experiment was the colonial era policy prohibiting the ownership of slaves in the U.S. state of Georgia. At the urging of Georgias proprietor, General James Oglethorpe, and his fellow colonial trustees, the British Parliament formally codified prohibition in 1735, two years after the colonys founding. The ban remained in effect until 1751, when the diminution of the Spanish threat and economic pressure from Georgias emergent planter class forced Parliament to reverse itself.
