[b]Some colonists were landed gentry from England and that influenced the culture thereafter which was very different than New England. [/b] Georgia was a penal colony, no? [/quote] This.

Religious separatists settled in coves and hills in the New England areas, and city factory owners settled along the New England "fall line" to build factories and import [b]Irish slaves [/b]and later regular immigrants. [/quote] The Irish were never enslaved. They were indentured servants.[/quote]
