黑人作家迈克尔·瑟蒙德考察了佐治亚州白人创始人詹姆斯·爱德华·奥格尔索普的历史，他试图在他建立的殖民地禁止奴隶制。 Black author, Michael Thurmond, examines the history of Georgia's white founder, James Edward Oglethorpe, who attempted to ban slavery in the colony he established. 尽管做出了努力，历史学家普遍认为奥格尔索普更关注白人定居者的安全和自给自足，而不是被奴役的非洲人的福祉。 Despite his efforts, historians generally agree that Oglethorpe was more focused on the safety and self-sufficiency of white settlers rather than the well-being of enslaved Africans. 然而，瑟蒙德认为，在大英帝国深度参与奴隶贸易的时期，乔治亚州的白人开国元勋可能是黑人的盟友。 However, Thurmond argues that Georgia's white founding father may have been an ally to Black people during a time when the British Empire was deeply involved in the slave trade.
