During 1730, South Carolina was an important British colony, and therefore was in constant defense mode, due to the fact that the Spanish crown wanted to gain control of the region through Florida. This is why Georgia was primary founded, so that South Carolina would be properly defended.
Also, Georgia was founded because the British colonizers believed that they could exploit the rich agricultural life of the territory, to produce products that England could not.
