Georgia was originally established as a colony primarily for economic reasons, serving as a buffer between the British colonies and Spanish Florida, and as a place for debtors and the poor to start anew. However, it also had religious undertones, as it offered refuge for persecuted Protestant groups, such as the Moravians and Jews. While economic objectives were predominant, the colony's founding included a significant religious component, making it a blend of both influences.
