Question

why didnt georgia send delegates to the first continental congress? georgians were not invited to the first continental congress. georgia still needed great britains help to defend its borders against native americans. the only people who lived in georgia at the time were british officials. philadelphia was too far away from georgia.

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Georgia was a young, southern colony in 1774 facing ongoing conflicts with Native American groups along its borders. It relied heavily on British military support to protect its settlements, so colonial leaders chose not to send delegates to the First Continental Congress to avoid jeopardizing that aid. The other options are incorrect: Georgia was invited, it had more residents than just British officials, and distance was not the primary barrier.

Answer:

Georgia still needed Great Britain's help to defend its borders against Native Americans.
