Georgia and State Rights: A Study of the Political History of Georgia, from the Revolution to the Civil War, with Particular Regard to Federal Relations (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Excerpt from Georgia and State Rights: A Study of the Political History of Georgia, From the Revolution to the Civil War, With Particular Regard to Federal Relations
It is not difficult for one whose native environment is the Cotton Belt to orient himself into antebellum Georgia. I have made little use, however, of the historical imagination.
The method is that of the investigator rather than the liter ary historian. The work is intended to be a thorough seien tific treatment of its subject. No pains have been spared in obtaining exhaustive and accurate information. I have made research in person in every important library in America, and in several of those abroad, and have made use of a large amount of material which is in the possession of private individuals. The most useful collections of material for the work have been found in the University of Georgia Library, the Carnegie Library of Atlanta, the Congressional Library, and the libraries of the Historical Societies of Georgia, New York, and Wisconsin.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the complex political history of Georgia, focusing on the years between the American Revolution and the Civil War, with a particular emphasis on how the state's relationship with the federal government evolved. The author traces the development of Georgia's political identity, shaped by events such as the adoption of the Federal Constitution, disputes over western lands, and the ongoing struggle with Native American tribes for control of territory. The book examines the rise of important political figures like James Jackson and George M. Troup, whose actions and ideologies greatly impacted Georgia's political landscape. The author explores the roots of the state's strong belief in its own sovereignty, arguing that this principle informed Georgia's approach to issues such as the Yazoo land scandal and the expulsion of the Cherokee people from their ancestral lands. By dissecting the complexities of Georgia's political evolution, the book provides valuable insights into the origins of sectionalism and the seeds of conflict that would ultimately lead to the Civil War.
