Georgia

Georgia is one of the fifty states that makes up the United States of America. It was the fourth state to ratify the U.S. Constitution on January 2, 1788. It was also one of the eleven states that seceded from the United States and formed the Confederate States of America on March 16, 1861, and remained so until the end of the American Civil War in 1865. It was formally readmitted to the United States on July 15, 1870. Georgia is the twenty-fourth largest state by area, and the eighth largest by population.
