The group that was never allowed in the Georgia colony was the Catholics. To find this answer, you would have to research the history of the Georgia colony and its founding. The Georgia colony was established in 1733 as a British colony by General James Oglethorpe. The original intention behind the colony was to provide a fresh start for debtors and to serve as a buffer zone between the British colonies and Spanish Florida.
However, Oglethorpe and the Trustees who governed the colony were strict Protestants and wanted to establish a colony free from religious persecution. As a result, they did not allow Catholics to settle in the Georgia colony. This policy was put in place due to the historical tensions between Catholics and Protestants in Europe and the fear that allowing Catholics in the colony would disrupt the social and religious harmony they sought to establish.
Therefore, Jews, Salzburgers (a group of Protestants from Austria), and even Malcontents (an opposing group within the colony) were allowed to settle in the Georgia colony, but Catholics were not permitted.
