Answer 1

The group of Protestants that you are referring to is the Salzburger Protestants. They were a group of Lutherans from the Salzburg region of what is now Austria, who faced religious persecution for their beliefs. In the 1730s, they were allowed to settle in colonial Georgia, where they established the towns of Ebenezer and New Ebenezer. Their settlement was part of a larger effort by James Oglethorpe, the founder of Georgia, to provide a haven for religious refugees.
