The guy who founded it believed that slavery was a mortal sin, he was also against contact with the Native Americans (thinking that white society would "corrupt them"). He was actually really progressive for his time; the colony, which was founded as a military buffer between the Carolinas and Spanish Florida, was also used by him as a place for poor people to go for a more fair society. However, since he wasn't a proprietary owner, the colonial assemblies quickly shattered his vision.
I know this already, but thanks.
I didn't and I'm absolutely baffled at it.
