No, the majority of colonists who came to Georgia were not taken from debtor's prison. Although James Oglethorpe, the founder of Georgia, envisioned the colony as a refuge for debtors and the poor, only a small percentage of the initial settlers were actually debtors. Most of the early colonists included a mix of other groups, such as soldiers, craftsmen, and farmers seeking new opportunities. The idea of using debtors as settlers was more of a part of Oglethorpe's philanthropic vision than a reality for the majority of the population.
