James Oglethorpe suggested forming a colony for the poor primarily as a humanitarian effort to provide relief for the impoverished and those imprisoned for debt in England. He envisioned a new settlement, Georgia, where these individuals could have a fresh start, gain economic independence, and contribute to the colony's development. Oglethorpe also aimed to create a buffer zone between the British colonies and Spanish Florida, enhancing security while promoting social reform.
