GEORGIA: History of Georgia, for Use in Schools
by Lawton B Evans. 1908. 360p
The early history of Georgia was marked by Oglethorpe's establishment of peace treaties with Native Americans, which were essential for the colony's stability before facing Spanish aggression. Tensions escalated as Spanish attacks on settlers prompted Oglethorpe to mobilize troops, while internal governance issues arose with a Provincial Congress challenging royal authority in 1775. As colonists grappled with fears of Indian attacks and debated their governance, modifications to regulations led to significant changes in land ownership and governance, with Governor Wright seeking British military support, though communication failures ultimately hindered effective assistance.
