Analysis
Religion and Economy Analysis: Because the religion is Anglican, Anglicans from England came here for profit, an experience of the New World, and more land. Since Georgia was in the South, where there was lots of fertile soil, their economy was mostly agriculture. Agriculture and Cash Crops made them a successful colony.
Founding Effect Analysis: Many people who were in debt or were very poor came to settle here since it was a save haven for debtors and the poor. This would mean that the economy would have to be good, so that it can support all the poor/ debtors. Mostly farmers came to settle here because there was an economy of agriculture, hence the land was fertile.
