English debtors founded the colony of Georgia in America in 1732. It was established as a buffer between the British colonies and Spanish Florida, as well as a place where debtors could make a fresh start.

Debtors
James Oglethorpe was the main proponent of the colony of Georgia. His friend died in debtor's prision, so he was very interested in prision reform. He therefore opened up his colony (named after King George III) to debtors to start new lives.
The place where most English families live is called England.
English Debtors
James Oglethorpe, a distinguished soldier and member of Parliament, settled Georgia as a home for insolvent debtors who were brought there from English jails. He also made it a safe place for the Protestants of the Continent who were persecuted.

The English debtors settled in Georgia in 1733, when James Oglethorpe, the colony's founder, established it as a place for the poor and indebted English to start anew. The first group of settlers arrived in February 1733, establishing Savannah as the first city. This settlement aimed to provide a buffer against Spanish Florida and to promote a new social order based on compassion and opportunity.
They forced me to answer this question. ;-;
Georgia was a debtor's colony. It was created as a place to send people in debt so they could get a fresh start, make the money to pay the people they owe and not just end up in an English prison.
