The correct answer is B) James Oglethorpe.

James Oglethorpe wanted to make one of England's Southern Colonies into a haven for English debtors.

James Edward Oglethorpe (1696-1785) was the English military official that founded the colony of Georgia in the Americas.

He wanted to send prisoners that were in the jails in England to this new territory in the Americas. This way it could free space in jails and sent the people to settle in Georgia. This could be a fresh new start for poor people and former prisoners.
