Question 1: D: It was the first American university created by a state government.

The University of Georgia received its charter from the state in 1785, making it the first state-chartered public university in the United States. The university brands itself as the "birthplace of the American system of higher education."

Question 2: A. Boycotting British made goods.

Patriots were those who defended the right of the colonies to independence and democratic representation. Therefore, they were against British rule. Out of all the options, boycott is the only one that would negatively affect the British government.

Question 3: C. The headright system and the land lottery.

The headright system was the first method used to distribute Indian land to new settlers in Georgia during the late 1700s. However, the land lottery was the main method used to increase the population in the western portion of the state during the early 1800s. These policies resulted in the displacement of the Creek and Cherokee people.
