Georgia is the colony founded for poor an unfortunate people. James Oglethorpe, had originally founded the colony so that people that were in debt can start over.
Georgia is called a debtors colony because it was created for debtors. In England, there were debtors clogging up the prisons. So people in debt where sent to Georgia to work off their debt. People were unable to pay off their debt and that is why Georgia came about. They took debtors out of the prisons and gave them a second chance. It worked and that is where debtors went.
Well, honey, Georgia was called a debtors colony because it was established as a place where debtors from England could start fresh and repay their debts by working off their balances. James Oglethorpe, the founder, wanted to provide a second chance for those who were struggling financially. So, basically, it was like a "get out of debt free" card for those who needed a clean slate.
