Description
A. D. S., George Walton. Signed also by Richard Howley and William Few. Endorsed, "Georgia, Observations on the State, by her Delegates." Observations showing why the southern states ought not to be left in the power of Great Britain; the basis of uti possidetis has been talked of in Europe, and a new commission may be sent to sound the temper of America; injustice of abandoning Georgia to the tyrant; growth of her commerce and productions before the war; excellent live-oak timber for ships; good inlets and harbors; danger to the other states if Great Britain were allowed to hold the South; relations that would ensue with Spain; the southern states should be recovered by a naval superiority.
