The colony of Georgia was founded in 1732 as a buffer against Spanish Florida and a refuge for debtors and the poor, emphasizing agriculture and the cultivation of crops like rice and indigo. In contrast, Massachusetts, established in 1620 by Puritan settlers, focused on religious freedom and community governance, with a strong emphasis on education and town-based social structures. While Georgia initially prohibited slavery, it eventually adopted it, whereas Massachusetts had a more complex relationship with slavery, integrating it into its economy from early on. These foundational differences shaped their respective cultures and economies.
