MalcontentsMainly composed of Scottish settlers
near SavannahArrived in Georgia by paying their
own way, so they did not feel the same loyalty to James Oglethorpe
Objected to three trustee rules:Limits on land ownershipLaw against slaveryLaw against rum

The Spanish Threat from Florida
In 1739, war broke out between England and Spain
This gave Oglethorpe a good reason to invade Florida which was controlled by Spain
2000 men (mainly Native Americans and settlers from GA & SC) fought to take over Spanish forts in Florida
War of Jenkin’s Ear

Spanish Threat continuedNot much progress was made until
July 1742 in the Battle of Bloody Marsh
In this battle Highland Scots assisted Oglethorpe’s forces. This surprise attack caught the Spanish forces off guard and was the beginning of a safe southern frontier for the British.

Spanish Threat continuedThe Spanish eventually left the area
for good after a note was sent to a British deserter warning of an impending attack by arriving ships. The arriving ships were actually trading ships, but the Spanish thought they would be outnumbered and gave up.
