protestants who came to the colony of Georgia for religious purposes
The first European settlement in Georgia was in the area known today as Savannah. It was established in 1566 by the Spanish. Next came an English claim in 166, when Charles II granted land rights to eight lord proprietors. By 1680, Britain had finally dislodged all the Spanish from the area.
The Georgia Salzburgers were founded in Effingham County after they were expelled from Salzburg which is now present day Austria. They were Protestant colonists who spoke German.
The Salzburgers originated from the Salzburg region in Austria. They were Protestant settlers who fled religious persecution in the early 18th century. In 1734, they were invited to settle in the British colony of Georgia, where they established the town of Ebenezer. Their migration was part of a broader movement of displaced Protestants seeking religious freedom.
I actaully think it is Spain via Florida that was to settle to in georgia....
Salzburgers, Scot Highlanders, and the Moravians
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.
