Answer 2

The correct answer is C) the population was shifting.

The MOST common reason for the moving of Georgia’s capital over the state’s history was that the population was shifting.

Since the beginning, Georgia has had five state capitals. Let's remember that is was James Oglethorpe the founder of the colony of Georgia in 1733. They established in Savannah, the first white settlement of the new colony. In January 1780, the capital was moved to Augusta. In the 1780s, Savannah and Augusta were the capital of Georgia for different circumstances. Then in 1786, the capital was moved to Louisville. In 1807, the capital again was moved. Now, to the city of Milledgeville. Finally, on June 30, 1868, the capital was moved to Atlanta.
