Best Answer

Georgia was founded with two main purposes: to serve as a place where debtors in prison could go to start anew and also to serve as a barrier against Spanish expansion from Florida.

In 1732, James Oglethorpe was given a charter from King George II to create a new colony, which he would name Georgia.
