General James Oglethorpe, English colonist of Georgia, 18th century (c1880). Artist: Ravenet
General James Oglethorpe, English colonist of Georgia, 18th century (c1880). A champion of the cause of the poor in debtors prisons, Oglethorpe proposed the establishment of a colony in the New World where such people could begin a new life. He set sail on the Anne in 1732, and after arriving at Charleston, South Carolina, established his colony on the site of the city of Savannah, Georgia, purchasing land from the Creek Indians. In the event, few inmates from debtors prisons ever made it to Georgia, with most of the influx of settlers consisting of Scots, poor English tradesmen and refugees from religious persecution in Switzerland and Germany.
