Georgia lies geographically in the American South. It was founded by a man named Oglethorpe ( he who looks over the town!) to take the word apart, originally as a sort of halfway-house penal colony. Georgia figured prominently in the Campaigns of General Sherman in his March to The Sea. These real battles formed part of the backdrop to the Civil War Novel -Gone with the Wind. Destruction of property was part of the tactical storm brewed by General Sherman. To this day, the song ( marching through Georgia!) is never played in the South!
