Whether he fought in the Revolutionary War is not entirely clear. Some histories state he enlisted as a private and fought at the Battle of Brandywine. Others state he served briefly as a Colonel. And another has said that Thomas McKean, the governor of Delaware, also one of the signers of the Declaration appointed Dickinson as a Brigadier General.

Why did oglethorpe establish Georgia?
from presuction from king George the 3rd did you Know that Oglethorpe was in jail for a short period of time James Edward Oglethorpe. (1696-1785) British legislator, colonial governor, and army officer. Born in London, he became a member of Parliament in 1722 and supported plans for the establishment of a debtors' colony in North America. Oglethorpe and his associates succeeded in establishing the Georgia colony in February 1733, and Oglethorpe was appointed Governor. He gained the trust of local Creek Indians by ensuring fair trade practices, and during the war with Spain he led British forces into Florida (1740) and defeated a Spanish invasion of Georgia (1742). He subsequently returned to England to defend himself against various charges and was eventually appointed major general. Following the abortive Jacobite uprising in 1745, Oglethorpe was tried and acquitted for failing to pursue Prince Charles Stuart's army aggressively. Oglethorpe and others, demanding reform, proposed to establish a colony which might provide a place for the rehabilitation of people imprisoned for debt. For this purpose Oglethorpe and 19 associates received a royal charter in 1732 to found a colony between Spanish Florida and South Carolina; the trustees were to govern Georgia for 21 years, after which the province would revert to royal control. The King accepted the philanthropic aims of Georgia in granting the charter, but he also made clear that the colony was supposed to increase the commerce of Britain and serve as a buffer state for the protection of the southern frontier. The genesis of Georgia arose from this threefold set of motives - philanthropic, commercial, and military.
