Well, honey, Georgia was called a debtors colony because it was established as a place where debtors from England could start fresh and repay their debts by working off their balances. James Oglethorpe, the founder, wanted to provide a second chance for those who were struggling financially. So, basically, it was like a "get out of debt free" card for those who needed a clean slate.
James Oglethorpe was the main proponent of the colony of Georgia. His friend died in debtor's prision, so he was very interested in prision reform. He therefore opened up his colony (named after King George III) to debtors to start new lives.
Georgia was initially founded as a colony for debtors in 1733 by British philanthropist James Oglethorpe, providing them with a chance for a fresh start and economic opportunity.
It was chartered by the king. He took debtors to that colony to find jobs and pay off their debt to the king. Today that colony is known as Georgia.
i'm pretty sure it was to give debtors a new start
In 1732, James Oglethorpe was given a charter from King George II to create a new colony which he would name Georgia. It was located between South Carolina and Florida. It had two main purposes: to serve as a place where debtors in prison could go to start anew and as a barrier against Spanish expansion from Florida.
The Dutch took up most of Colonial Georgia's population. Others included debtors from England that were sent to the colony to start over, as the debtors prisions were becoming overcrowded.
A charter colony is a colony that was started with a charter. A charter is permission from the King or Queen to start a colony.
