Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Trials and Hair-Breadth Escapes of R. J.& Bud Daniel in Arkansas, in 1883 Georgia is certainly the garden spot of the number settled before the Declaration of Independence. Founded by Benevolence, a refuge for the poor and persecuted, a grant from George II., including all the territory between the Savannah and the beautiful Altamaha rivers. That noble soldier and statesman, James Oglethorpe, first schemed the plan, and it developed, in 1732, into a company of about six score souls ascending the Savannah River, and in February, 1733, Savannah Settlement was commenced. Wild sons of the forest were here then, with whom peace and friendship were desired and obtained. Population, like ocean waves, swelled until Scotland, Switzerland and Germany whitened the ocean, and crowded into this famous colony ef George II. It is a fact pregnant with meaning, that John and Charles Wesley were among the early emigrants to the Colony, and those God-fearing men laid deep and wide the foundation of religious liberty which has ever characterized that pious, numerous, and energetic body of Christians known as Methodists. Georgia had drawbacks at first, on account of Spanish troubles in Florida. Spain has been kind to America in one sense, and hostile in many others. A domineering spirit of intrigue, religious persecution, and forced forms of worship, though endorsed by his Reverence, the Pope, could never receive the right hand of fellowship of those proud spirits that trusted their lives to the boisterous deep, to reach the place where they "could worship God according to the dictates of their own consciences."
