The colony that served as the home for debtors was Georgia. Founded in 1733 by James Oglethorpe, Georgia was established as a place where debtors from England could start anew and work off their debts. Oglethorpe envisioned it as a social experiment, providing opportunities for the impoverished and serving as a buffer against Spanish Florida. The colony allowed for a fresh start for those who had been imprisoned for their debts in England.
