Georgia was hesitant to send a representative to the Constitutional Convention in 1787 due to concerns over the potential loss of state sovereignty and the desire to maintain their own interests, particularly regarding slavery and trade. The state's leadership feared that a stronger federal government would undermine their authority and negatively impact their economic interests, prompting them to prioritize their own agendas over national unity. Ultimately, Georgia's participation was driven by the need to protect their specific interests while navigating the broader challenges of forming a new government.
Georgia was the only colony not to send a delegate to Philadelphia in 1774. Georgia declined to send delegates because they were hoping for British assistance with Native American problems on its frontier and did not want to upset the British.
