1735 CE

The Georgia Trustees propose three pieces of legislation to the Privy Council in 1735 and have the satisfaction of securing the concurrence of king and council.

An Indian act requires Georgia licenses for trading west of the Savannah River.

Another act bans the use of rum in Georgia.

A third act outlaws slavery in Georgia.

South Carolina protests the Indian act vehemently and objects to the Trustees' order to restrict the passage of rum on the Savannah River.

The Board of Trade sides with South Carolina, and a compromise is reached, allowing traders with Carolina licenses to continue their traditional trade west of the Savannah River.

The Trustees object to the Board of Trade's tampering and refrain from proposing any additional legislation requiring approval of the Privy Council.
