The four groups allowed to settle in Georgia were debtors, the poor, the persecuted religious groups, and the impoverished. The colony was established by James Oglethorpe in 1732 as a buffer against Spanish Florida and a place for these groups to start anew. Debtors, in particular, were given the opportunity to escape imprisonment for their debts. Additionally, persecuted groups such as the Salzburgers and the Moravians sought refuge in Georgia for religious freedom.
