James Oglethorpe established a colony in Georgia where debtors and the poor could make a fresh start.

Explanation:

Georgian founder James Oglethorpe started the colony specifically in 1732 as a debtor sanctuary, as an alternative to English prison for debtors.

Two thirds of Europeans settling in the colonies, as indentured servants, became debtors. On their part, the colonial states of Virginia and North Carolina, desperate on workers, provided rewards for offering debt protection for five years.

Lepore argues that the founding fathers Jefferson and Washington were so indebted to the London banks that the English Declaration of Independence represented the principles of the political Revolution as well as their own balance sheets.

Which savings account will earn you the least money?

ddd [48]

The savings account that would earn the least amount of money is the account that earns a simple interest monthly.

<h3>What does simple interest and compound interest mean?</h3>

Simple interest rate is the interest that is paid only on the principal portion of a loan. This means that the debtor does not pays interest on the interest rate already accrued. This differs from compound interest where the debt holder pays interest on the principal and the interest rate already accrued.

This means that an account that earns a compound interest would have a higher yield when compared with an account that earns a simple interest.
