Answer:

The Jews

Step-by-step explanation:

The JEWS were a group of immigrants that was not welcomed by all colonists in Georgia but their work to help survive a yellow fever outbreak was well documented. This was evident when a certain Dr. Samuel Nunis, his family some other groups initially ran from Lisbon to settle in London based on religious freedom in 1726. They later moved to Georgia in the USA through William and Sarah ship that carried 42 Jews.

However, before they came, an epidemic later known as Yellow fever had killed over 100 colonists in Georgia, including the only doctor then. Consequently, the arrival of Dr. Samuel Nunis and his treatments reduced the death rates, and the General of the colonists, James Edward Oglethorpe, allowed the Jews to settle in Savannah following the protests of the colonists against Georgia becoming a Jewish colony.
