A) Loyalists outnumbered Patriots.

At the beginning of the Revolutionary War, Georgians were mostly loyalists, and therefore, not eager to join the fight for independence. One of the reasons for this position was the fact that safety was a big concern for the colony. Georgians believed that only British officials could protect them from Native Americans, the Spanish colonies to the south and the French ones to the west. Secondly, Georgians were concerned with trade, as both England and the West Indies were consumers of Georgian products. Nevertheless, Georgia eventually saw itself involved in the war, gaining its independence along with the other colonies.
