The primary interest of the British government in approving James Oglethorpe's Georgia colony was Thwarting Spanish claims in the area South of Carolina.
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.
Oglethorpe's primary reasons for founding the colony of Georgia were to establish a place for former debt prisoners to have a place to establish a new life and to keep them from falling into a life of crime.
