Georgia is a state
in the United States and was one of
the original Thirteen Colonies that
revolted against British rule in the American Revolution. It was
the last of the Thirteen Colonies to be established, in 1733. It was the
fourth state to ratify the United States Constitution,
on January 2, 1788. It seceded from the Union on January 21, 1861 and was one
of the original seven Confederate states.
It was the last state to be readmitted to the Union, on July 15, 1870.
Georgia is the ninth-largest state in the nation by population, with an
estimated 9,544,750 residents as of July 1, 2007.[3] Georgia is also known as the Peach
State and the Empire State of the South. Atlanta
is the capital, and the most populous city. Georgia is bordered on the south by Florida;
on the east by the Atlantic Ocean and South
Carolina; on the west by Alabama
and by Florida in the extreme southwest; and on the north by Tennessee
and North Carolina. The northern
part of the state is in the Blue Ridge Mountains, a mountain
range in the vast mountain system of the Appalachians. The central piedmont extends from the foothills
to the fall
line, where the rivers cascade down in elevation to the
continental coastal plain of the southern
part of the state. The highest point in Georgia is Brasstown Bald,
4,784 feet (1,458 m); the lowest point is sea
level. |
