The 3 reasons for the founding of Georgia are: Charity, Economics, and Defense.
Oglethorpe founded Georgia for those 3 reasons, right, why would oglethorpe build a colony for defense?
I understand charity and econimics, just not defense.

My question is: why did oglethorpe build a colony for defense.
Thankss

the attached link should explain but in case it doesn't the Spanish were just south of Georgia and would remain there until Andrew Jackson stirred up a hornets nest. so the powers that be inEngland wanted a buffer between the Spanish and the other 12 colonies and Georgia served this purpose very well.
