Designed by architect A. Ten Eyck Brown, the house at 205 The Prado was built in 1910 from locally- quarried granite in the Italian Renaissance Revival style. It was first home to real estate developer Edwin P. Ansley, founder of Ansley Park, Atlanta’s first automobile suburb. Ellis Arnall, one of the state’s most progressive governors, resided there (1943-47). He was a disputant in the infamous “three governors controversy.” For forty-three years, the mansion was home to twelve governors, until poor maintenance made it nearly uninhabitable. A new governor’s mansion was constructed on West Paces Ferry Road. The granite mansion was razed in 1969, but its garage was converted to a residence. 3 Historical Documentation of the Granite Mansion Edwin P. Ansley Edwin Percival Ansley (see Appendix 1) was born in Augusta, GA, on March 30, 1866. In 1871, the family moved to the Atlanta area. Edwin studied law at the University of Georgia, and was an attorney in the Atlanta law firm Calhoun, King & Spalding.

The Causes Look at What Caused the Civil War: Slavery Is One of the Most Important Causes of the Remember North = Union
The Treaty of Indian Springs removed the Creek from southern and middle Georgia. Andrew Jackson’s refusal to follow Worcester v. Georgia, coupled with the Indian Removal Act, sealed the fate of the Cherokee. The Trail of Tears was the forced removal of the Cherokee from Georgia . The Cherokee were roun ded up, forced into stockades (concentration camps), and then forced to march to Oklahoma in the wintertime. Some Cherokee were forced to make the journey by boat. This move devastated the Cherokee. It killed one third of their people, and remains one o f the most terrible events in Georgia’s history. The Civil War SS8H6 The student will analyze the impact of the Civil War and Reconstruction on Georgia. a. Explain the importance of key issues and events that led to the Civil War; include slavery, states’ rights, nullification, Missouri Compromise, Compromise of 1850 and the Georgia Platform, Kansas- Nebraska Act, Dred Scott case, election of 1860, the debate over secession in Georgia, and the role of Alexander Stephens. b. State the importa nce of key events of the Civil War; include Antietam, the Emancipation Proclamation, Gettysburg, Chickamauga, the Union blockade of Georgia’s coast, Sherman’s Atlanta Campaign, Sherman’s March to the Sea, and Andersonville. The Civil War quite possibly affected Georgia more than any other event in its history. This event left the state in complete ruins and killed thousands of its people.

Harold Paulk Henderson, Sr
Harold Paulk (Hal) Henderson, Sr. Oral History Collection Series I: Ellis Arnall OH ARN 06 Carl Sanders Interviewed by Harold Paulk (Hal) Henderson, Sr. Date: June 11, 1981 CD: OH ARN 06, Tracks 1-4; 0:37:46 minutes Cassette: OH ARN 06, 0:37:21 minutes, Side One [CD: Track 1] [Cassette: Side 1] HENDERSON: Governor, if I could begin with a very obvious question. The state constitution prohibited you from succeeding yourself in ’66 [1966]. Would you have liked to succeeded yourself? SANDERS: Yes, I would have. I had a lot of programs that were underway, and I had some others that I would have liked to have inaugurated. Four years, which seems and sounds like a long time, passes very quickly when you are working as governor of the state and before you know it, your time is up. Programs that you are heavily involved with and all, you just never seem to have enough time to finish up everything you’d like to do. HENDERSON: While you were governor, did you make any efforts to have the constitution changed, where you could succeed yourself? SANDERS: No, I did not. I didn’t think at that time that the political climate would have permitted that and frankly, I was so involved with so many things, I tried to spend all the time that I could, all the time that I had, in pushing for positive accomplishments, which I think we had a great number of. And if I had gotten involved into the political thicket of trying to amend 2 the constitution to succeed myself, I probably would have cost the state a lot of time and effort and would not have been able to accomplish as much in my administration.

Samuel Ernest Vandiver, Jr
OH Vandiver 01C Samuel Ernest Vandiver, Jr. interviewed by Mel Steeley and Ted Fitzsimmons Date: 6/25/86 Cassettes #439 (56 minutes) COPY OF ORIGINAL INTERVIEW ORIGINAL AT WEST GEORGIA UNIVERSITY Side One Fitzsimmons: Governor, we were talking about the integration of the university, and you said in making a decision you talked to a number of people, and among them Senator [Richard Brevard, Jr.] Russell. What was his advice? Vandiver: Well, I think you probably know what his situation was. He had fought these battles in the Senate for many, many years. And, of course, he knew from his practice of law and his familiarity with the law that I had no choice except to follow the law. That I couldn't, if I had defied the court, then I had no choice except to try to get the state of Georgia to secede again from the Union. And we'd tried that once and hadn't done too well that time. And so he knew that I had no choice. One thing that Betty [Sybil Elizabeth] Vandiver and I have talked about a great deal was her father was a federal judge; he was a judge of the northern district of Georgia. And he never had to deal with this situation. He knew it was probably coming, but he became ill with cancer, and he died in 1955 before this situation ever came before his court. And we've thought about it many times, that the Lord was kind to him. He would have had to rule in such a way that it would have been extremely difficult for him.

HENDERSON Side One Henderson: This is an interview with former Governor George D. [Dekle] Busbee in his law office in Atlanta. The date is March 17, 1994. I am Dr. Hal Henderson. Good afternoon, Governor Busbee. Busbee: Good day. Henderson: Thank you very much for granting me this interview. Busbee: I'm delighted. Henderson: You served in the state House of Representatives the last two years of the [Samuel] Marvin Griffin [Sr.] administration and you served all four years of [Samuel] Ernest Vandiver's [Jr.] administration. Let me begin by asking you: what was your impression of the Marvin Griffin administration? Busbee: Well, of course, if you had to choose sides Marvin wouldn't have said that I was in his camp. I will say, however, that I was reminiscing with some people that served in the legislature with me back then and have served since I was governor, and we don't think it's as much fun as it used to be. I think he was a very colorful character and we had a great time, but I think that was former days for Georgia; that's not the era that we're in now. Henderson: Okay. How would you describe the relationship between Lieutenant Governor Vandiver and Governor Marvin Griffin? 2 Busbee: Well, the first real bitter fight that I became engaged in as a legislator was during the time that I was there [and] Marvin Griffin was governor, and we had the rural roads fight.

Teacher Notes for the Georgia Standards of Excellence in Social Studies
Georgia Studies Teacher Notes for the Georgia Standards of Excellence in Social Studies The Teacher Notes were developed to help teachers understand the depth and breadth of the standards. In some cases, information provided in this document goes beyond the scope of the standards and can be used for background and enrichment information. Please remember that the goal of social studies is not to have students memorize laundry lists of facts, but rather to help them understand the world around them so they can analyze issues, solve problems, think critically, and become informed citizens. Children’s Literature: A list of book titles aligned to the 6th-12th Grade Social Studies GSE may be found at the Georgia Council for the Social Studies website: https://www.gcss.net/site/page/view/childrens-literature The glossary is a guide for teachers and not an expectation of terms to be memorized by students. In some cases, information provided in this document goes beyond the scope of the standards and can be used for background and enrichment information. Terms in Red are directly related to the standards. Terms in Black are provided as background and enrichment information. TEACHER NOTES GEORGIA STUDIES Historic Understandings SS8H1 Evaluate the impact of European exploration and settlement on American Indians in Georgia. People inhabited Georgia long before its official “founding” on February 12, 1733. The land that became our state was occupied by several different groups for over 12,000 years. The intent of this standard is for students to recognize the long-standing occupation of the region that became Georgia by American Indians and the ways in which their culture was impacted as the Europeans sought control of the region.
