Which of the following is NOT a reason that Oglethorpe and the trustees wanted to start the colony of Georgia?

Question

To help the poor who could not pay their bills
To help the English economy
To form large plantations
To provide defense

Answer 1

The option that is NOT a reason that Oglethorpe and the trustees wanted to start the colony of Georgia is "To form large plantations."

Oglethorpe and the trustees aimed to create a colony that would provide a fresh start for the poor and indebted, contribute to the English economy, and serve as a buffer against Spanish Florida, but their initial plan explicitly discouraged large plantations and the use of enslaved labor.
