  • History of Jefferson County, GA Part 4
    CHAPTER II WAR BETWEEN THE STATES BY W. L. PHILLIPS A HISTORY of Jefferson County would hardly be complete without giving some data as to the part played by the county in that momentous struggle, the War Between the States, but strange to say no one has ever given us any local information as to Jefferson's part in that most ferocious war of all history, and its stirring scenes are now so far back in the past that it is almost impossible to get firsthand information regarding it. Even those who have reached the days allotted by the Psalmist, three score and ten, were then too young to recall now what transpired in the sixties. More than half a century shields those awful days from the glare of real truth, and softens the memories that brood over them. But never in the history of all time will the world know or see again such a terrific struggle as that of the sixties. Georgia, as a State, stood most prominent in the stirring debates and public utterances of the years just preceding this great con- flict, because some of the most prominent and able men of that day were largely Georgians. The question of secession became a burning one and the most (101) Picture taken in 1863 of Jefferson County soldiers who were at home on sick leave.

    The Piedmont Piper OUR INSPIRATION IS IN THE PAST OUR DUTY IS IN THE PRESENT OUR HOPE IS IN THE FUTURE Edition CXII (112th Issue) www.piedmontsar.com July 2013 From the The Birth of American Independence President’s Desk When the initial battles in the Revolutionary War broke out in April 1775, few colo- nists desired complete independence from Great Britain, and those who did were con- sidered radical. By the middle of the following year, however, many more colonists had come to favor independence, thanks to growing hostility against Britain and the spread of revolutionary sentiments such as those expressed in Thomas Paine's best- selling pamphlet "Common Sense," published in early 1776. On June 7, when the Continental Congress met at the Pennsylvania State House (later Independence Hall) in Philadelphia, the Virginia delegate Richard Henry Lee introduced a motion calling for the colonies' independence. Amid heated debate, Congress postponed the vote on Lee's resolution, but appointed a five-man committee--including Thomas Jefferson of Virginia, John Adams of Massachusetts, Roger Sherman of Connecticut, Benjamin Franklin of Pennsylvania and Robert R. Livingston of New York--to draft a formal In This Issue statement justifying the break with Great Britain. Chapter Meetings, New Members and Upcoming Events On July 2nd, the Continental Congress voted in favor of Lee's resolution for inde- Flag Retirement Ceremony pendence in a near-unanimous vote (the New York delegation abstained, but later Chaplain’s Column voted affirmatively). On that day, John Adams wrote to his wife Abigail that July 2 "will be celebrated, by succeeding Generations, as the great anniversary Festival" and Registrar Notes that the celebration should include "Pomp and Parade...Games, Sports, Guns, Bells, Robert Forsyth Chapter News Bonfires and Illuminations from one End of this Continent to the other."
