What did they want?

The Malcontents complained about the limits the Trustees placed on land. The Malcontents wanted the right to buy rum. Most importantly, the Malcontents wanted to end the ban on slavery. After over 10 years of Malcontent complaints, in 1751, the Trustees ended restrictions on land ownership. In 1751, they made slavery legal, which changed Georgia’s history for ever.
