Geography
Georgia is part of the Atlantic coastal plain with swamps in the coastal area, on the Piedmont Plateau, on the Blue Ridge (eastern edge of the Appalachian Mountains), on the Great Appalachian Valley and in the extreme northwest on the Cumberland Plateau.

Economy
The core area of agriculture is the Piedmont Plateau, in which the earlier cotton monoculture has been replaced by diverse cultivation (cotton, peanuts, tobacco, maize and soybeans) as well as highly developed cattle, pigs and especially poultry farming. The pine forests (about two-thirds of the national area) were formerly used for turpentine, today for cellulose production. Georgia supplies kaolin, granite, fuller’s earth, and marble. In addition to a diverse textile industry, vehicle construction, chemical and food industries developed in particular in Atlanta. Large tourist centers emerged on the coast, as well as military bases such as King’s Bay Naval Base or Fort Benning near Columbus.
History
de Soto was the first European to set foot on what is now Georgia, which in the following years was disputed for a long time between the English, Spanish and French. Since 1733 it was settled on behalf of the British Crown by trustees under J. E. Oglethorpe and named after George II.named. Georgia became a crown colony in 1754, declared independence in 1776, and adopted a constitution in 1777. On January 2, 1788, it was the fourth of the founding states and the first of the southern states to ratify the US Constitution. The still open western border was established until 1802. The use of slaves (slavery was introduced with the new constitution) made it possible to transform the small farms into large-scale cotton plantations. Georgia played a leading role in the secession (annexed to the Confederate States in 1861) and suffered badly in the Civil War (March General W. T. Shermans from Atlanta to Savannah); In 1870 it was re-admitted to the Union. The large plantations broke up v. a. as a result of the liberation of the slaves and were leased to small tenants. In the following period, the abolition of racial segregation and the equality of blacks became the central problem (civil rights movement).
