Georgia was governed by different rules than the other Southern colonies because it was founded for humanitarian reasons. The British colony of Georgia was established by James Oglethorpe on February 12, 1733, and was managed by the Georgia Trustees in a charter published by and named for King George II.

EXPLANATION:  

The Province of Georgia (so-called the Georgia Colony) was one of the Southern colonies in British America. It was the last of the thirteen authentic American colonies founded by Great Britain which later turned out to be the United States. In the authentic grant, a provincial narrow line extended into the Pacific Ocean.

The charter of the colony company was given to General James Oglethorpe on April 21, 1732, by George II. That was how it got its name. The charter was confirmed by the King’s inheritance council on June 9, 1732.

Oglethorpe intended a colony that would function as a haven for British citizens imprisoned for debt. General Oglethorpe enforced very strict regulations that many invaders did not approve of, such as the prohibition of alcoholic drinks. He opposed slavery and believed the smallholding systems more suitable than the large farms that were common in the Northern colonies. However, land grants were not as huge as most invaders preferred. Oglethorpe intended the province as a location for relocation of British debtors and "the worthy poor."

Another reason for the establishment of the colony was as a barrier state and "garrison province" which would maintain the southern British settlements from Spanish Florida. Oglethorpe envisioned a province inhabited by "sturdy farmers" who could guard the boundary; because of this, the colony's charter forbade slavery. The prohibition of slavery was elevated by 1751 and the colony turned out to be a royal colony with 1752.
