This is never to be forgotten, that New England is originally a plantation of Religion, not a plantation of Trade. Let merchants . . . remember this. . . . that worldly gain was not the end and design of the people of New England, but Religion.

–"The Cause of God and His People in New England,”
John Higginson, 1662

V. The natural produce of the country, of vegetables, is trees, fruits, plants, flowers.

–William Penn, 1683

Whereas we are credibly informed, that many of our poor subjects are, through misfortunes and want of employment, reduced to great necessity, . . . they would be glad to settle in any of our provinces in America where by cultivating the lands, at present waste and desolate, they might not only gain a comfortable subsistence for themselves and families, but also strengthen our colonies and increase the trade, navigation and wealth of these our realms.

How did the motivation for founding Georgia compare with the motivation for founding other colonies?

While colonies in New England were founded on the basis of religion, Georgia encouraged debtors and the impoverished to start new lives.

While Pennsylvania was founded for economic goals, Georgia ignored any idea of monetary gain or advancement.
Unlike the other colonies, Georgia offered settlers wages that were paid by the colony.
