In the thirteen colonies the debtors settled in Georgia.
It was started by James Oglethorpe for the honest debtors in English jails. The English Colonies wanted people in the upper colonies to be safe from the Spanish in what is now Florida. To improve safety, the Brits took people out of jail and put them in Georgia to protect them.
