James Oglethorpe, the founder of Georgia, sought to keep out enslaved Africans from the colony to create a society based on small farms and egalitarian principles. However, many of his settlers, who were primarily from the Carolinas, wanted to bring enslaved people into Georgia to enhance their agricultural productivity and economic viability. This conflict over the inclusion of slavery eventually led to changes in the colony's policies.
