The Georgia colony was founded for all of the prisoners in jail or people who were accused and prosecuted because of their religion to leave that colony or England and start anew in Georgia. It was also founded to protect the middle colonies from attacks. Florida was right under Georgia and Florida was claimed by Spain so there was a chance that Spain could have tried to attack.
