Georgia was founded in 1732 by James Oglethorpe as a British colony intended to serve as a refuge for debtors and the impoverished. Oglethorpe initially outlawed slavery in the colony, believing that it would promote a more equitable society and encourage hard work among settlers. However, this ban was lifted in 1750, and slavery became a significant part of Georgia's economy in the following years.
