Answer 1

The group of Protestants who were allowed to settle in Georgia after suffering religious persecution in Europe were known as the Salzburg Protestants or Salzburger Emigrants. They were expelled from the Archbishopric of Salzburg in present-day Austria due to their refusal to convert to Catholicism. In 1732, James Oglethorpe, the founder of the Georgia colony, invited them to settle in Savannah, Georgia, where they were granted religious freedom and the opportunity to rebuild their lives.
