Why did german salzburgers come to georgia?

The Trustees of the Colony of Georgia in 1732 extended an invitation to Salzburgers to come settle in the new colony in America. In search of religious freedom, they re-boarded the Purysburg and left England for their long journey to America on January 8th, 1734.

Explanation:

About 300 Salzburgers, under the leadership of pastors Johann Martin Boltzius and Israel Gronau, accepted the invitation. The first group of Salzburgers sailed from England to Georgia in 1734, arriving in Charleston, South Carolina, on March 7, then proceeding to Savannah on March 12.

After sixty-three tumultuous days at sea, the first Salzburger immigrants landed at the mouth of the Savannah River on March 12, 1734. Some 25 miles inland, on swampy land, near the lands of the Uchee Indians, a site was chosen and given the biblical name Eben Ezer, or stone of help, a monument to God's protection.

The Catholics told them they would have to give up their religion or their land. They gave up their land, and they traveled to the New World to escape religious persecution. Here in Georgia they were able to practice their Protestant faith - Lutheran. They began to come in 1734.
