History[]
Background[]
Governor James Oglethorpe founded the colony using convicts from debtors' prisons, hoping to give them a second chance. When he arrived in the New World, he negotiated with the chief of the local Yamacraw people to give him land so he could build Savannah, and he continued to try ensure that the colonists and natives were on good terms.
The colony also served as a garrison or buffer zone between the British colonies and Spanish Florida. Due to the high emphasis on military matters, slavery was forbidden by the colony's charter, as it was viewed as a potential liability in times of conflict.
Season Two[]
Colonel William Rhett tells Captain Flint and Miranda Barlow that before Governor Peter Ashe committed to fighting piracy, raiders would assault Carolina’s shipping as far north as Mount Pleasant, and as far south as the Cumberland Sound in Georgia.
Before Flint’s trial begins, Ashe sends his daughter Abigail to stay with Mr. Ashford, a friend of his, in Savannah, hoping to spare her the sight of the trial’s ugliness.
