James Oglethorpe helped debtors as part of his vision to create a new society in the colony of Georgia, founded in 1733. He believed in providing a fresh start for the impoverished and those imprisoned for debt in England, offering them an opportunity for rehabilitation and a chance to contribute to a new community. Oglethorpe's humanitarian efforts were driven by his desire to reform the penal system and provide a refuge for those seeking a better life. By establishing Georgia, he aimed to create a buffer between the British colonies and Spanish Florida while promoting social justice.
