Build Up the Country Louisianas Plan for Georgia Railroads
An Antwerp mission has secured a colony of about 200 eager settlers to obtain land and become independent citizens. The piece argues railroads could rival this by buying 50 to 100 acre plots near lines, building homes, and selling on affordable terms to attract producers, boosting freight and passenger business. If funds fail, an investment group with railroad cooperation could finance bonds on real estate to create a thriving, slave population benefiting Georgia’s economy and development.
