Question

8.07 the list below describes one of the english colonies in america.

• intended to be settled by debtors from overcrowded english prisons
• conceived as a means of prison reform
• organized by james oglethorpe

which phrase describes another purpose of the colony described by the information on the list above?
○ to offer land to indentured servants
○ as a buffer from spanish expansion
○ to act as a gift to pay off a debt owed by the kind
○ to give religious freedom to its inhabitants

Explanation:

The colony described is Georgia, organized by James Oglethorpe for debtor settlement and prison reform. Another key purpose of Georgia was to act as a buffer colony against Spanish expansion from Florida. The other options don't match Georgia's purposes: offering land to indentured servants wasn't its main unique purpose, it wasn't a debt - related gift, and religious freedom wasn't a primary purpose (unlike colonies like Rhode Island or Pennsylvania).

Answer:

B. as a buffer from Spanish expansion
