R- Raft- James Ogelthorpe A- Audience- King George 2 F- Format- Letter T- Topic- Why was the founding of Georgia important?

Dear King George 2,

I, James Ogelthorpe, have a question for you. May I start a colony for debtors? The colony would be called Georgia, in honor of you. The debtors would work for money so they can pay off the money they owe. They then wouldn’t have to stay in jail until they die. Also, if the Natives attack, the debtors would be our army! Please write back! Thank you!

Sincerely, James Ogelthorpe
