They were the first "Governments" in the world to do so -- 50 years before the British Parliament acted. ... As Colonies under Royal Governors, they would not have been permitted to end slavery.Nope. The colonial Georgia government under Oglethorpe abolished slavery circa 1745.

The colonial Georgia government under Oglethorpe abolished slavery circa 1745. What happened? Did they miss it?

Nope. The colonial Georgia government under Oglethorpe abolished slavery circa 1745. Never enforced and officially repealed in 1750.
