For the debtors. A new future awaits.

Under the Carolinas and Tennesse, you'll see Georgia

Our Founder: James Oglethorpe

In England, at the time, if someone owed money they could be put in debtors prison, but a man named James Edward Oglethorpe wanted to reform these prisons.

​

James Edward Oglethorpe was the founder of Georgia. Oglethorpe wanted to give debtors and poor people a chance at a new life, so when he founded Georgia he used it to give a new life for debtors. Oglethorpe prohibited alcohol and slavery.

Tribute to the Makers

This website wouldn't be possible if were not for Kevin, Salvador, and Hayder. They have contributed a lot to this website. They created it to help people learn all about Georgia and how it functioned in colonial times.
