Georgia's colony was intended to operate under a trustee management structure, with the Trustees for Establishing the Colony of Georgia overseeing its administration. This group, formed in 1732, aimed to create a philanthropic settlement for debtors and the poor, emphasizing agriculture and self-sufficiency. The Trustees would govern the colony for 21 years, prohibiting slavery and land ownership to promote equality and a communal spirit among settlers. However, these restrictions were eventually lifted, leading to a shift in the colony's management and economic model.
King George
The group of people who formed Georgia were colonists that were in jail. The colonists didn't want to have the people there so they made them their own colony.

The Georgia colony was initially governed by a group of trustees. There was widespread dissatisfaction from the colonists, and James Oglethorpe, who had originally petitioned for the colony, lost his enthusiasm, and no longer came to the colony. The colony ended its trusteeship government, and went into that of a royal colony in 1752.

A group of protozoans living together as one is called a colony. Each individual protozoan in the colony retains its own identity but works together with the others for the collective benefit of the group.
The colony of Georgia began as a proprietorship that was administered by James Oglethorpe. The colony was a second chance community for people who had gotten into trouble with their finances in England, and wound up in Debtors Prison. Those who chose to come to the Georgia Colony could work off their sentence first, then were given land to start their life anew.
One significant document associated with Georgia's colony is the Charter of 1732. This charter was granted by King George II to James Oglethorpe and a group of trustees, establishing the colony of Georgia as a buffer against Spanish Florida and a place for the poor and indebted to start anew. It outlined the colony's governance, land distribution, and regulations regarding slavery and alcohol, reflecting the social and economic ideals of the time.
The new settlers arrived in Georgia on February 12, 1733. This marked the establishment of the colony, which was founded by James Oglethorpe and a group of trustees. The first settlement, Savannah, was established shortly thereafter, becoming the first city in the colony.
Georgia's colonists came from England. In 1732, James Oglethorpe established this colony as a refuge for English debtors. The colony was named for King George II.
There was a group called the trustees who convinced King George II to colonize Georgia.
