Georgia was not "discovered". After Britain claimed the land of the "New World", people could apply for charters to colonize the new land. The Pilgrims got a charter so they could practice their religion. Virginia got its charter in hopes of turning a profit. Similarly, a lord named James Oglethorpe received a charter from the King to colonize Georgia. He used this colony as a haven for debtors, who according to English law would otherwise be put in prison. Numerous other petty criminals also came. Georgia was allowed to exist primarily as a buffer between the rich and profitable Carolina's.
