Chapter VII – Conclusion

Chapter II - Negotiations with the Trustees of Georgia unfolds as a pivotal moment where idealism met the realities of colonial administration. Count Zinzendorf, known for his deep spiritual convictions and political insight, pursued the creation of a haven for the Moravians and Schwenkfelders amidst the religious turbulence of early 18th-century Europe.

Chapter I – Antecedent Events
Chapter I - Antecedent Events begins with a portrait of early 18th-century England, where social reformers were disturbed by the harsh treatment of debtors. James Oglethorpe, deeply moved by the conditions in London’s prisons, spearheaded a vision for a colony that would rehabilitate the poor rather than punish them. He saw land in America as a means to offer a fresh start, believing that structured opportunity could restore dignity. Parliament responded, and by 1732, a charter was granted to the…-
