The Highland Scots were sent to the GA colony from King Henry of England. They were sent to fight with the British army against the Spanish attacks of South Carolina. They were placed in the Georgia colony because in this time period Georgia was just a buffer colony to protect the riches in south Carolina from the Spanish.

Salzburgers were a group of German Catholics that came to the colony of Georgia. They were kicked out of Germany (forced to leave) so they came to the new born GA colony.
The Malcontents were a group of settlers that came to the Georgia colony much later than the first settlers. The Malcontents didn't agree with the regulations of the charter of 1732. They wanted landownership, they didn't want to grow mulberry trees, and most importantly, they wanted to own SLAVES. They always protest in both non-violently and violently.
