Lyman Hall was a representative from Georgia who signed the Declaration of Independence. Hall County, Georgia is named after him.
Button Gwinnett was a delegate from Georgia to the Second Continental Congress, which debated and adopted the Declaration of Independence. He signed it, because the legislature in Georgia was in favor of declaring independence and he was authorized to sig it to show Georgia's agreement with the claim that America was free of British rule.
After the Declaration of Independence was signed, Georgia faced several challenges, including political instability and the threat of British invasion. The state was divided between Loyalists and Patriots, leading to internal conflicts and skirmishes. Additionally, the British military targeted Georgia, resulting in the capture of Savannah in 1778, which further complicated the state's efforts to support the Revolutionary War. Overall, Georgia's post-Declaration period was marked by turmoil as it sought to establish its independence and governance.
