Why was Georgia established?

Answer 1

James Oglethorpe thought that the poor (such as people living in jails) should have better lives. He also believed that it was to crowded in England for so many people, so they could move many people to Georgia. One more reason, is that, if the Indians let them own a lot of land (which they did), they could have more grown items, such as silk. They wouldn't even have to do it themselves, they could just have the colonists do it.
