**Answer** A 1 . Besides serving as a land of safety for criminals working out their debts, colonial Georgia was also a safe place for people coming from religious back rounds. It was here that debtors(people that owed dept) as well as persecuted Christians and Jews could find refuge(shelter/safe place) and start over in a new land. Since colonial days, Georgia has remained a state that cherishes religious freedom. A 2. Some slaveholders felt it would be useful for their slaves to read and write in order to help with jobs such as record keeping. Some slaveholders taught their slave themselves or hired tutors and in very rare instances plantation schools were started for the slaves. A 3. In the early years after Georgia was founded the founders actually had slavery banned from the colony. But since James didn't have money to change Georgia he had to let slavery to Georgia. The slaves help the people a lot, the slaves had grown rice, tobacco, and even more plants that can be sold. With the slaves Georgia had got more and more money. = Documents/ Pictures =
