Why was the colony of Georgia established?

Answer
A
to create an alliance with New Spain

to make money from the timber trade

Explanation

Georgia was established in 1732 under James Oglethorpe, in part to give poor people and debtors from Britain a chance to start over. It also served as a buffer colony between British settlements and Spanish Florida, but the choice that matches its social purpose is “to give debtors from Britain a fresh start.”
