A, Georgia.
Georgia was considered both a debtor and buffer colony due to its founding purpose and geographical position. Established in 1732 by James Oglethorpe, it aimed to provide a fresh start for debtors and the impoverished from England, allowing them to work and contribute to society. Additionally, Georgia served as a buffer between the English colonies and Spanish Florida, protecting the more prosperous colonies from potential attacks and encroachment. This dual role of social reform and military defense defined Georgia's unique status among the thirteen colonies.
