Introduction

On January 19, 1861, Georgia seceded from the Union as the "Republic of Georgia" and joined the newly formed Confederacy the next month during the prelude to the American Civil War. During the war, Georgia sent nearly 100,000 soldiers to battle, mostly to the armies in Virginia. The state switched from cotton to food production, but severe transportation difficulties eventually restricted supplies. Early in the war, the state's 1,400 miles of railroad tracks provided a frequently used means of moving supplies and men but, by the middle of 1864, much of these lay in ruins or in Union hands.

The Georgia legislature voted $100,000 to be sent to South Carolina for the relief of Charlestonians who suffered a disastrous fire in December 1861.

Thinking the state safe from invasion, the Confederates built several small munitions factories in Georgia, and housed tens of thousands of Union prisoners. Their largest prisoner of war camp was at Andersonville.^[1]

Timeline of Events in GEORGIA

December 1861

• The Georgia legislature voted $100,000 to be sent to South Carolina for the relief of Charlestonians who suffered a disastrous fire in December 1861.

January 19, 1861 -

• Georgia seceded from the Union as the "Republic of Georgia" and joined the newly formed Confederacy the next month during the prelude to the American Civil War.
• During the war, Georgia sent nearly 100,000 soldiers to battle, mostly to the armies in Virginia.
• The state switched from cotton to food production, but severe transportation difficulties eventually restricted supplies.
• Georgia's 1,400 miles of railroad tracks provided a frequently used means of moving supplies and men^[6]

Summer 1861-

• Union naval blockade virtually shut down the export of cotton and the import of manufactured items. Food that normally came by rail from the North were halted.

• The governor and legislature pleaded with planters to grow less cotton and more food. The planters refused because at first they thought the Union would not or could not fight. The planters then saw cotton prices in Europe soared and they expected Europe to soon intervene and break the blockade. *The legislature imposed cotton quotas and made it a crime to grow an excess, but the food shortages continued to worsen, especially in the towns.

September 18-20, 1863

• Battle of Chickamauga - the first battle in Georgia.

February 1864

• Anderson POW Camp is opened.^[7]

May 7 - Sep 2, 1864

• Railroads lay in ruins or in Union hands.

November - December 1864

• Sherman's March to the Sea inflicting $100 million (1864 dollars) of destruction. Women and children were captured and shipped North, most never to return. ^[8][9][10]

• Sherman captures Savannah, offering it to President Lincoln as a Christmas present.

January 1865-

• Sherman left Georgia to begin the Carolinas Campaign.
