Loyalists in Georgia
During the American Revolution, there were many loyalists who
supported Georgia. Examples include Button Gwinnett, Lyman Hall, George Walton,
and Elijah Clarke. They supported their country and wanted to make Georgia a
state. They wanted independence from Great Britain. While they were working on
the U.S. to be independent, they helped Georgia to be a colony. They encouraged
people to move to Savannah. Today in Georgia, there are four counties named
after these men.
