Georgia State
The purpose of this paper is to determine whom the state of Georgia really belongs to this day and time. Since the beginning of the settlement movement, Europeans in North America struggled with Native Americans for possession of the land they both coveted, they attempted to secure title to the land that they called their own, either through official treaties or when these failed, by forceful acts. As more and more Europeans immigrated to what is now know as Georgia state, they began to view the Indians already there as a hindrance to growth. Until the nineteenth century, the colonial governments and later the United States generally cooperated with many Native American Indians in an effort to avoid full-scale continental war, since costly wars would drain vital resources that could otherwise assist in developing the colonies and later states. The United States first Indian policy, the Indian Trade and Intercourse Act formulated by Secretary of War Henry Knox in 1790, sought to maintain peace with as many native Indians as possible (Lee, L. P., 2001). This was especially true in the South, as the young nation seemed to be in constant conflict with the Indians in the Ohio River
