what group was never allowed in the georgia colony

1 answer

The group that was never allowed in the Georgia colony was Catholics. When James Oglethorpe founded Georgia in 1733, one of his primary motivations was to create a refuge for debtors and the poor, but also to establish a buffer zone against Spanish Florida and French Louisiana. As part of this goal, the colony's charter specifically prohibited the settlement of Catholics due to the fear of Spanish influence and the potential threat they posed. Additionally, the original rules of the colony banned the practice of slavery and limited land ownership, although these regulations changed over time.
