Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: There were 2 reasons why Georgia was founded!. 1!. as a " buffer zone" so that English South Carolina was protected from Spanish Florida!. 2!. The people who originally were sent to Georgia were sponsored by James Oglethorpe!. These people were either those debtors who were forced to live in prison along with low and mid grade felons, horse thieves or those who could be hanged or placed in prison until they died-- back then a short time!. Oglethrope wasd an advocate of sending these people abroad so that thet could start a new life!. 3!. Oglethorpe was in charge of the colony from 1733-1738!. He served as the Head Administrator, judge, and medical doctor to the colony!. While he was in charge he banned slavery and alchohol from the colony!. he was replaced/kicked out of the colony because most of the colonists wanted 2 things!. You guessed it, slaves and rum!. He went back to England and watched his colony become a part of the new United States!. Hope that helps!. Packers!.Www@QuestionHome@Com It might not!. Georgia was created as a buffer colony by Britain so that the enemies of the British and the Indians would have to go through Georgia before reaching more populated and critical cities!.Www@QuestionHome@Com What the guy above saidWww@QuestionHome@Com |
