| | The Expulsion of the British |
| | The final shift of power from British to American authority in Georgia came with the arrest of Governor Wright in January, 1776. | | | Young, proud Habersham blatantly defied the British governor in his home, and stripped Wright of his power and dignity. | | | From here, he made one last plea to the Council of Safety and people of Georgia to change their "mistaken" ways or else face future "ruin and destruction." Wright offered the "olive branch" to the Georgia leaders and even signed this letter "your most obedient and faithful servant," relinquishing his authority and begging for reconciliation. |
