Answer:

The three main reason for colonizing the area called Georgia is Charity, Economics and Defence.

Step-by-step explanation:

These 3 things are the 3 main reasons why King George II and James Oglethorpe wanted/needed to create the 13th colony of Georgia.

Charity- people were in jail that didn't deserve to be and the population was getting so big that the British needed a place to put the.

Economics- People would be paying back the debts they have created and they could use the raw materials in Georgia to help great Britian earn more money

Defense- Georgia was considered a ''buffer zone'' between South Carolina and Florida since the Spanish were settled in La Florida and the British were in South Carolina. Therefore, Georgia would also be used as a naval base.
