8) What was Georgia's role in the fight between South Carolina and Spain? 9) Why was the war of Jenkins ear important?

8- During the conflict between South Carolina and Spain, Georgia functioned as a buffer territory, which limited Spain's possibilities to attack the Carolinas and the rest of the British colonies to the north. That was precisely the intention of James Oglethorpe when creating the colony.

9- The War of Jenkins’ Ear was a colonial war between Great Britain and Spain that took place from 1739 to 1742.  The war waged by the British in the Caribbean and the southern colonies of North America was aimed at breaking Spanish supremacy in the West Indian region and eliminating Spanish overseas trade. In their attacks on Spanish bases, however, the British only achieved significant success in the first year of the war by taking the Spanish portobelo. After all other operations, carried out as amphibious operations by units of the fleet and landing troops of the British infantry, failed and the British expeditionary corps had melted more and more through guerrilla actions and tropical diseases, the fighting was finally stopped in the course of 1742 with no result.
