Question

Why was the colony of Georgia founded?

Answer 1

to resettle Britain's poor, especially those in debtors' prisons, in the new world

Answer 2

In 1730, a group of British established plans for the creation of a colony in the unexplored south of the Carolinas. This colony was called Georgia, in honor to the then monarch of the United Kingdom, King George II of Great Britain. This authorized the creation of the new colony through the segregation of the southern region of the Carolinas. Initially, this group of Britons planned to send prisoners or people in debt to that area. This plan, nevertheless, was left, and only some indebted ones were sent there.
