Answer: Georgia
Explanation:
James Oglethorpe pushed for the creation of a new colony where the poor in Britain could relocate to and start a new life. That colony was Georgia and the first poor people he wanted to relocate were those in prison for having failed to pay off their debt.
The British agreed to this proposal as they saw it as a just cause and they also wanted to reduce the overcrowding in their prisons. Another more important reason was that it would serve as a buffer between the wealthy Carolina colonies and the Spanish in Florida.
