Answer:

James Oglethorpe wanted a colony in which debtors would be protected from prison.

Explanation:

Hi, James Edward Oglethorpe was an English army officer, philanthropist, and founder of the British colony of Georgia in America.

As a social reformer, he hoped to resettle Britain's worthy poor in the New World, initially focusing on those in debtors' prisons

Oglethorpe was noted as a philanthropist and for his benevolence, including helping children and defending seamen against impressment. It was his work on the Prison Discipline Committee that brought him in contact with the idea of creating a colony of debtors in the New World.
