Instead of sending representatives to the First Continental Congress to protest the Intolerable Acts, Georgians opted to take a more cautious approach. They were concerned about the potential repercussions from Britain and tended to be more loyalist in their sentiments compared to other colonies. Nonetheless, some local meetings and gatherings were held to discuss the situation, reflecting a split sentiment within the colony regarding resistance to British authority. Ultimately, Georgia did send delegates to the Second Continental Congress in 1775, showing a gradual shift toward active participation in the broader colonial response to British policies.
