About Georgia
Georgia, known as the “Peach State” and the “Empire State of the South,” is a state in the southeastern region of the United States. It is a land of diverse landscapes, historic significance, and southern charm.
Georgia played a pivotal role in American history as one of the original thirteen colonies and the last to be founded. It was a key player in the Civil Rights Movement, with landmarks like the Martin Luther King Jr. National Historic Site in Atlanta reminding us of its significance in the fight for civil rights.
