Question

Which BEST explains why Georgia’s decision to secede was important to the southern states? A) Georgia had had a long-standing belief in a more powerful federal government. B) Georgia had high economic value because it was a major agricultural producer. C) Georgia’s geographic location blocked the southern states’ access to the North. D) Georgia’s highly skilled navy could engage the northern states in naval battles.

Answer 1

The idea of the secession of the state arose at the end of the eighteenth century as tensions developed over the interpretations of the state against the federal powers, together with the important economic value acquired by Georgia as a large agricultural producer.

The Georgia Secession Convention met in March 1861, and not only voted to separate the state from the Union, but also created Georgia's first new constitution since 1798.

The correct answer is B): Georgia had a high economic value because it was an important agricultural producer.
