Georgia's turbulent road to independence and war
The narrative traces Georgia's early revolutionary role from royal bounty to armed resistance. It details Wright's governorship, stamp act opposition, non importation efforts, and Georgia's fractured loyalties amid British pressure. It covers the 1774–1776 period, including the provincial congress, seizure of gunpowder, and Savannah's push toward independence led by key figures such as Bulloch, McIntosh, and Habersham, culminating in the provisional constitution and martial actions that defined Georgia's path to joining the Revolution.
