Essential Question What role did the establishment of the University of Georgia, Louisville, the spread of Baptist and Methodist churches play in Georgia’s growth?

What was life like on the Georgia Frontier? Undeveloped land in central and western Georgia. Few settlers; much land given away in land lotteries. Far-flung trading posts were only stores. Often danger lurked from hostile attacks. Social activities often centered around necessary work. The country store became the center of activity; few luxuries were available.

What was life like in Georgia's Towns? Cultural refinements (higher level living) set apart frontier and town lifestyles. Newspapers, theater, and debate societies. Fancy balls, barbecues, camp meetings, and horse racing. Orphanages, hospitals, and facilities for people with special needs were operated.

University of Georgia After the American Revolution, many Georgia’s were not educated. The Governor Lyman Hall, recommend that the state set aside land to build schools, but few were built. Even though very few Georgians were educated, they believed in the value of a good education.

University of Georgia In 1784, 20,000 acres of land, was set aside to build a state school. In 1785, the University of Georgia was chartered (began) as a land grant university. – A land grant university is one in which the government donates the land to build the school. Abraham Baldwin, signer of the US Constitution for Georgia, was UGA’s 1 st president.

University of Georgia UGA was the first land-grant school in the country. It officially opened in 1801; women were not admitted until UGA was often called Franklin College in its early days.

Louisville Louisville was Georgia’s 3 rd state capital, from At the time it was the center of Georgia’s population; this was driven by the state’s westward expansion. The state’s legislators hoped that the town would also serve as a trading center due to its location on the Ogeechee River. Savannah Augusta Louisville

Once it was established, Louisville developed both socially and financially. However, Louisville’s time as capital ended in 1807 due several factors including the malaria outbreaks. One of the most famous events in the city was when the state legislators publically set fire to the Yazoo Land Act with a magnifying glass. Savannah Augusta Louisville

Spread of Baptist & Methodist Churches After the American Revolution, religion began to spread throughout the state. Ministers began arriving in Georgia from Great Britain. The founder of the Methodist church, John Wesley, preached in colonial Georgia.

Spread of Baptist & Methodist Churches Georgians did not begin identifying themselves with denominations until the Second Great Awakening. – The Second Great Awakening was a protestant revival movement during the early 19th century in the United States. Membership rose rapidly among Baptist and Methodist congregations whose preachers led the movement.

Spread of Baptist & Methodist Churches Many slaves converted to the Methodist and Baptist faiths. Both the Baptists and Methodists used revivals and camp meetings to help increase their membership. These meetings were all day affairs where famers and other townspeople could listen to the sermon, but also get together and socialize with their friends and family after weeks of laboring on their farms.

Spread of Baptist & Methodist Churches The Methodist church also incorporated the use of circuit riders, ministers who would ride from small town to small town and preach. These circuit riders were important in bringing new converts to the church.
