Why did Georgia not really feel the Initial Impact of the great depression?
Georgia did not feel the initial impact of the Great Depression as severely as other states due to its largely agrarian economy, which was less integrated into the national financial system. The state was already experiencing economic hardships from the boll weevil infestation and the decline of cotton prices in the 1920s, leading to a more gradual economic adjustment. Additionally, many Georgians relied on subsistence farming, which insulated them somewhat from the urban industrial collapse. Thus, the transition into the Great Depression was less abrupt for Georgia compared to more industrialized states.

Before the Great Depression, Georgia faced several economic challenges, including a reliance on agriculture, particularly cotton, which left the state vulnerable to fluctuations in demand and prices.

Additionally, the rural economy was hampered by a lack of diversification and industrial development, resulting in high unemployment and poverty rates. These factors combined contributed to Georgia's already precarious economic situation prior to the onset of the Great Depression.
