Because of the high prison population of England and the burden of expense placed by that upon the state; because there remained a tract of coastal land between the English controlled 12 colonies and the Spanish controlled Florida; and because James Oglethorpe was a friend of the kings family who requested permission to relocate the prisoners to a proposed North American penal colony.
