Georgia Georgia was founded
as a “social experiment”
James Oglethorpe planned the colony in order to provide a fresh start for England’s poor
![Page 14: The English Colonies Chapter 2 Section 3. Atlantic Coast The Spanish colonized the south and west The French colonized the North The Atlantic Coast was.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56649ec15503460f94bccdc5/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
The colony was also there to provide a buffer between the Seminole Indians and the Carolinas

The colony had rigid rules including no rum or slavery, so it attracted few settlers
Eventually Oglethorpe gave up his experiment and Georgia became a Royal Colony
