Re: Freeing Slaves NOT reason for WBS

Gen. Wofford of the 18th Ga. Infantry, before he was Brigade Commander, was a delegate to the secession convention. He was against it, but when it passed, he raised a regiment, which included my GGF and two great uncles. They owned no slaves. When Ga. was settled in 1732, slavery was not allowed. Only when Ga. became a royal colony in 1752 did it include slavery as part of the economy. The causes were not simple. Slavery was a part, but not the only reason. Stan
