1 answer

C. Religion

The Georgia colony was primarily established for reasons of charity (to help the poor and debtors), defense (to act as a buffer against Spanish Florida), and economics (to develop the land and economy). While there were some religiously motivated individuals involved, religion was not a primary reason for the colony's creation compared to the other options.
