Georgia!!!
Is it on your mind?
A brief history...
The colony of Georgia was first settled in the year 1732. James Oglethorpe, our colony's great founder, envisioned Georgia to be a place where the debtors of the British Society could start anew. Along with this noble cause, Georgia also is charged with the great responsibility of being a barrier between the British colonies and the Spanish inhabited Florida. It was for these causes that the crown allowed the charter for the colony in June of 1732. For these reasons, Georgia provides a place where those with a burden to support the colonies, or anyone for that matter, can receive a warm welcome and a new start.
