A person who owes a debt to someone

Real World Example

In the early 1700s, many debtors in England faced imprisonment due to unpaid debts. To address this, James Oglethorpe proposed a solution by establishing the colony of Georgia as a place where debtors could start anew. This provided debtors an opportunity to escape jail and work towards a better life, contributing to the growth of the 13 English Colonies. Their actions emphasized second chances and the value of hard work and perseverance. Today, the legacy of these debtors can inspire individuals facing financial struggles to seek new beginnings and opportunities, much like someone overcoming bankruptcy to rebuild their financial stability and achieve success.
