Answer:
The colony that was founded with the hope that it would prevent the Spanish from attacking the other colonies was in the southeast region.
Explanation:
This colony was Georgia (named after King George II), which was the last formally founded colony to become part of the later United States. The initial reason for founding this colony was to have a place to send English debtors since prisons in England were becoming overcrowded. However, the primary purpose was to have a "buffer" area that would prevent or slow down possible Spanish attacks to the northern colonies.
Buffer: something or someone that helps protect from harm.
