La República de Geòrgia era el terme informal com s'anomenava ocasionalment a l'Estat nord-americà de Geòrgia immediatament després de la seva secessió dels Estats Units d'Amèrica el 19 de gener de 1861. L'ordenança, feta pública aquell mateix dia, tenia com a punt més destacat: "Declarem i ordenem, que la Unió que ara existeix entre l'Estat de Geòrgia i els altres Estats, sota el nom dels Estats Units d'Amèrica, queda dissolta, i que l'Estat de Geòrgia està en plena possessió de drets per a exercir el seu poder i drets de sobirania en el que respecta a un Estat lliure i independent", i al·legava com a motiu de la seva separació l'abolició de l'esclavitud que, es creia, volia promulgar Abraham Lincoln, el nou President dels Estats Units, i que efectivament acabaria aprovant el 1863.

Georgia was one of the original seven slave states that formed the Confederate States of America in February 1861, triggering the U.S. Civil War. The state governor, Democrat Joseph E. Brown, wanted locally raised troops to be used only for the defence of Georgia, in defiance of Confederate president Jefferson Davis, who wanted to deploy them on other battlefronts. When the Union blockade prevented Georgia from exporting its plentiful cotton in exchange for key imports, Brown ordered farmers to grow food instead, but the breakdown of transport systems led to desperate shortages.

La Georgia nella guerra di secessione americana fu uno dei sette Stati federati originari che formarono gli Stati Confederati d'America nel febbraio del 1861, dando così il via alla guerra civile. Il governatore della Georgia avrebbe desiderato che le truppe della milizia locale venissero utilizzate esclusivamente per la difesa del territorio, sfidando in tal modo apertamente il Presidente degli Stati Confederati d'America - il secessionista del Mississippi, Jefferson Davis, il quale voleva invece schierarle anche su altri fronti.

La Géorgie est l'un des sept premiers États esclavagistes qui forment les États confédérés d'Amérique en février 1861, provoquant la guerre de Sécession. Le gouverneur de l'État, le démocrate Joseph E. Brown, veut lever des troupes localement pour être utilisées uniquement à la défense de la Géorgie, au mépris de Jefferson Davis qui veut les déployer sur d'autres fronts. Lorsque le blocus de l'Union empêche la Géorgie d'exporter son coton abondant en échange d'importations essentielles, Brown ordonne aux fermiers de produire plutôt des cultures vivrières, mais l'effondrement des systèmes de transports aboutit à des pénuries désespérées.

What will be the result to the institution of slavery, which will follow submission to the inauguration and administration of Mr. Lincoln as the President it will be the total abolition of slavery'' I do not doubt, therefore, that submission to the administration of Mr. Lincoln will result in the final abolition of slavery. If we fail to resist now, we will never again have the strength to resist.

The people of Georgia having dissolved their political connection with the Government of the United States of America, present ... the causes which have led to the separation. For the last ten years we have had numerous and serious causes of complaint against our non-slaveholding confederate States, with reference to the subject of African slavery. ... The party of Lincoln, called the Republican party, under its present name and organization is of recent origin. It is admitted to be an anti-slavery party ... anti-slavery is its mission and its purpose. ... The prohibition of slavery in the territories, hostility to it everywhere, the equality of the black and white races ... were boldly proclaimed by its leaders, and applauded by its followers. ... The prohibition of slavery in the territories is the cardinal principle of this organization. ... These are the men who say the Union shall be preserved. ... Such are the opinions and such are the practices of the Republican Party ... if we submit to them, it will be our fault and not theirs.

The proposition to make soldiers of our slaves is the most pernicious idea that has been suggested since the war began. It is to me a source of deep mortification You cannot make soldiers of slaves, nor slaves of soldiers. The moment you resort to negro soldiers your white soldiers will be lost to you; and one secret of the favor with which the proposition is received in portions of the army is the hope that when negroes go into the Army they will be permitted to retire [Y]ou can't trust negroes [D]on't arm them If slaves make good soldiers our whole theory of slavery is wrong [T]hey are wanting in every qualification of a soldier.

Such an act on our part, would be a stigma on the imperishable pages of history, of which all future generations of Southrons would be ashamed. These are some of the additional considerations which have suggested themselves to us. Let us put the negro to work, but not to fight.

Alguns diaris locals van publicar la notícia amb el títol de "República de Geòrgia". La independència d'aquest incipient Estat no arribà a complir un mes, ja que el 4 de febrer Geòrgia va passar a formar part dels Estats Confederats d'Amèrica. La seva condició d'Estat productor en massa de cotó, i la necessitat d'esclaus per a tal explotació (462.230 dels habitants tenien la condició d'esclau, gairebé la meitat) feien aquesta República un candidat més que adient per a formar part de la Confederació. A més, la seva extensa xarxa de ferrocarril i la seva posició geogràfica allunyada del Nord feia aquest un bon territori per a preparar la rereguarda, formar els soldats i tancar els presos en l'eventual Guerra civil americana, com efectivament passaria després.

There was not much fighting in Georgia until September 1863, when Confederates under Braxton Bragg defeated William S. Rosecrans at Chickamauga Creek. In May 1864, William T. Sherman started pursuing the Confederates towards Atlanta, which he captured in September, in advance of his March to the Sea. This six-week campaign destroyed much of the civilian infrastructure of Georgia, decisively shortening the war. When news of the march reached Robert E. Lee's army in Virginia, whole Georgian regiments deserted, feeling they were needed at home. The Battle of Columbus, fought on the Georgia-Alabama border on April 16, 1865, is reckoned by some criteria to have been the last battle of the war.

Sherman commence à poursuivre les confédérés vers Atlanta, qu'il capture en septembre, en préalable à sa marche vers la mer. Cette campagne de six semaines détruit une grande partie de l'infrastructure civil de la Géorgie, écourtant résolument la guerre. Lorsque les nouvelles de la marche atteint l'armée de Robert E. Lee en Virginie, des régiments entiers de Géorgie désertent, pensant que leur présence chez eux est nécessaire. La (en), livrée sur la frontière de la Géorgie et de l'Alabama le 16 avril 1865 est reconnue selon certains critères comme la dernière bataille de la guerre.

La Georgia nella guerra di secessione americana fu uno dei sette Stati federati originari che formarono gli Stati Confederati d'America nel febbraio del 1861, dando così il via alla guerra civile. Il governatore della Georgia avrebbe desiderato che le truppe della milizia locale venissero utilizzate esclusivamente per la difesa del territorio, sfidando in tal modo apertamente il Presidente degli Stati Confederati d'America - il secessionista del Mississippi, Jefferson Davis, il quale voleva invece schierarle anche su altri fronti. Da quando il blocco dell'Unione cominciò attivamente ad impedire l'esportazione dell'abbondante cotone georgiano in cambio dei principali generi d'importazione di cui necessitava, Brown ordinò allora agli agricoltori di mettersi a coltivare cibo, ma l'interruzione delle maggiori vie di comunicazione impedì il buon funzionamento dei mezzi di trasporto, conducendo rapidamente ad una grave penuria alimentare. Non si svolsero scontri di una qualche rilevanza almeno fino al settembre del 1863, quando i sudisti, comandati da Braxton Bragg, non sconfissero William Starke Rosecrans alla battaglia di Chickamauga. Nel maggio seguente il generale unionista William Tecumseh Sherman dette inizio alla Campagna di Atlanta; la capitale statale Atlanta venne catturata a settembre, come preludio alla Marcia verso il mare di Sherman. Quest'ultima in un arco di tempo di sei settimane portò alla distruzione di una buona parte dell'infrastruttura civile della regione interessata, contribuendo ad accorciare notevolmente i tempi del conflitto. Quando le prime notizie sulla marcia raggiunsero l'Armata Confederata della Virginia Settentrionale guidata da Robert Edward Lee interi reggimenti georgiani abbandonarono il campo, reputandosi assai più necessari nei pressi delle loro case venutesi a trovare direttamente minacciate in maniera tanto grave. La , combattuta ai confini con l'Alabama il 16 aprile del 1865 venne considerata per molto tempo da un certo numero di storici l'ultima autentica battaglia della guerra.
