Answer - A - True. James Oglethorpe is associated with the Georgia colony.

Key Takeaway: James Oglethorpe created Georgia, the last English colony in the New World, in 1733 as a refuge for imprisoned debtors. The king granted Oglethorpe a charter and funded part of the establishment of the colony in order to create a defensive barrier from the Spanish in Florida and the French in Louisiana. Georgia was the only colony to receive this type of financial support.
