Read the excerpt from A True and Historical Narrative of the Colony of Georgia.
The First Thing he [Oglethorpe] did after he arrived in Georgia, was to make a kind of solemn Treaty with a Parcel of fugitive Indians . . . . and all of them have been ever since maintain'd at the Publick Charge, at vast Expence, when many poor Christians were starving in the Colony . . . a larger Sum of Money has been expended for the Support of those useless Vagrants, than ever was laid out for the Encouragement of Silk, Wine, or any other Manufacture in the Colony.

Rather than help the Indians, Oglethorpe should have helped the settlers.
Oglethorpe was right to try to establish good relations with the Indians.
