The dropping operation was largely unsuccessful and many of the soldiers were killed before they reached the ground. John Steele managed to survive after his parachute caught on the steeple of a church and he spent the ivasion hanging from his harness. He was later able to rejoin american troops and survived the war.

D. English debtors.


Georgia was established as refuge for debtors as well as a buffer between the plantation colonies and Spanish Florida. It was also established as a non-slave colony.


Overflowing prisons in England caused a concern. James Oglethorpe provided a solution by requesting a colony for debtors to work off their debt through servitude toward the colony. No slaves were allowed in the colony as the debtors were the labor.
