The earliest Georgia settlers did not include enslaved Africans, as the colony was initially established in 1733 as a refuge for debtors and the impoverished. Instead, the first settlers were primarily British colonists, including trustees and their families. Over time, however, enslaved Africans were brought to Georgia as laborers, especially in the plantation economy that developed later.
