Answer 1

James Oglethorpe permitted religious refugees from Switzerland, Scotland, and Germany, as well as a group of Jews, to settle in the Georgia colony despite some objections from the Trustees.

Step-by-step explanation:

In 1733, 1734, and 1735, James Oglethorpe allowed several groups to come to the Georgia colony. These included religious refugees from different parts of Europe, such as Switzerland, Scotland, and Germany, as well as a group of Jews, making Savannah home to one of the oldest Jewish congregations in the United States. Despite the Trustees' objections to certain groups, such as the Jews and their efforts to ban hard alcohol, the social provisions of the Georgia Charter ensured religious liberty for 'all', excluding Catholics. Therefore, the groups that were allowed by James Oglethorpe to come to the Georgia colony were artists, farmers, and religious refugees.
