The colony of Georgia was basically a prison colony. It was a place were debtors worked to begin a new life. Colonial Georgia was founded by James Oglethorpe and served only to preserve rigid control over the debt-prisoners and to ensure that a military presence existed to buffer the Spanish in Florida at the time. Colonial Georgia's government was similar to all other colonial governments at the time, with specific attention paid to benefiting the extremely wealthy in Georgia. Colonial Georgia's government had no participation from the average citizen.
