After which battle did Oglethorpe leave Georgia for good?
Unsuccessful invasion of St. Augustine
Battle of Savannah
Skirmish of Clifton Moor
Siege of Charleston
Answer
Oglethorpe's departure from Georgia was a direct consequence of the unsuccessful invasion of St. Augustine in 1742. This military campaign, aimed at capturing the Spanish stronghold in Florida, ended in failure, tarnishing Oglethorpe's reputation and straining relations with the British government. As a result, he resigned as governor of Georgia and returned to England, leaving a lasting impact on the colony's early history.
