Fort Frederica
|
|
| In the early 18th century, the land lying between British South Carolina and Spanish Florida was known as the debatable land. |  |
 |
This land was the control center of a centuries
old imperial conflict between Spain and Britain. Fort Frederica was established in 1736 by James Oglethorpe |
| It was built to protect the southern boundary of his new colony of Georgia. |  |
 |
Colonists from England, Scotland, and the Germanic states came to Frederica to support this attempt. |
