Description:Augusta Falls to the Rebels When 1781 opened the Rebels had been vanquished from Georgia by British and Loyalist troops, and were fighting for their lives in the Carolinas. The Ceded Lands, once settled with such great expectations, were now desolate wastelands. Ashes of deserted settlements were all that remained. Because military activities had replaced farming, those families who hung on faced lives of near starvation. With the arrival of spring came a wave of Rebels from "over the mountains" - east Tennessee and western North Carolina - who fell upon the few Loyalist settlements remaining in the Ceded Lands, and torched and killed at will. Even the British forces at Augusta were powerless to protect these settlers. The Rebels then joined forces with those from North Carolina and South Carolina, and "Lee's Legion" under Lt. Col. Henry Lee, Jr., and the final attack on Augusta began. By early June the British surrendered and were allowed to go to Savannah. Thus the area of British supremacy continued to shrink, down to Ebenezer, Savannah and the sea-islands. When Cornwallis began his march through the Carolinas and Virginia, Georgia Rebels fought him part of the way. As Cornwallis's force was reduced, the Georgians fell away and returned home, leaving the final glory of Yorktown to Washington, Lafayette, and the Continental forces. The surrender of Cornwallis foretold the outcome of the Revolution. A British government fell, and tiring of the war, the King's ministers sued for peace. Few records of the meetings of the Council have survived during this rapidly changing period. To fill the void other documents have been included, most of which would have been heard by the Council and perhaps mentioned in the missing journals. Published with the assistance of the R.J.
