After the passage of the Stamp Act, Governor James Wright operated a successful administration in Georgia and it came to be known as the only colony to implement the Stamp Act. It was around this period that the American Revolution broke out, and one of its main objectives was to fight against the Stamp Act. In 1768, Wright established a 12,000-acre settlement that hosted Quakers who had been displaced from North Carolina due to the revolution. The revolutionary wave reached Georgia in 1775, and in 1776, James Wright was captured by rebels from his home. He managed to escape soon after and engaged the rebels in continuous confrontations that included the loss and regaining of Savannah. Unfortunately, the war was lost, and Wright retired to England in 1782.
