Initially serving in the Austrian army, Oglethorpe later entered English Parliament, where he was inspired to create a colony in America for the poor and persecuted Protestants. On January 13, 1733, settlers arrived in Georgia, aiming to live for the glory of God rather than for wealth. The video concludes with a call to preserve and share American history.
