Oglethorpe presented Georgia as a place for England's worthy poor to start anew, on an agrarian model sustaining egalitarian values holding all men as equal.
In practice

Where people slip
Colonists relocating from other colonies, especially South Carolina, disregarded the prohibitions, and by the seventeen fifties Georgia produced rice grown and harvested by the enslaved.
