From wikipedia:<br /> <br /> Gilmer's career consisted of multiple alternating elected positions at the state and federal level. Of the two great Georgia political factions known as the Crawford men and the Clarke men he favored Crawford. He was elected to the Georgia House of Representatives in 1818 1819 and 1824. Gilmer was also elected to the U.S. House of Representatives in 1820 1826 1828 and 1832. Due to an oversight he did not serve after the election in 1828 because he failed to accept the position within the legal time frame and the governor ordered a new election.<br /> As governor of Georgia Gilmer aggressively pursued Indian removal laying claim to Federal assistance promised by the Compact of 1802.1<br /> <br /> He initiated the prosecution of Cherokee missionary Samuel Austin Worcester for violation of a law requiring all white persons residing within the Cherokee nation to obtain a license from the governor and to swear to uphold the laws of Georgia.23 Worcester was arrested in 1831 and sentenced to four years' hard labor.4 The Cherokee Nation hired a lawyer William Wirt and sued the state of Georgia in Cherokee Nation v. Georgia.5 This led to the United States Supreme Court decision Worcester v. Georgia which struck down the Georgia statute imposing its laws on the Cherokees as violating the Treaty of Hopewell.<br /> <br /> Backed by the Georgia militia and Governor Gilmer the General Assembly dissolved the Cherokee government annulled its laws and passed an act authorizing Gilmer to take possession of the Cherokee lands in north Georgia.6<br /> The Cherokee issue was hotly debated in the gubernatorial campaign of 1831.7 Gilmer lost the election to Wilson Lumpkin. The state seized Cherokee gold mines and set up a land lottery system in 1832 to distribute Cherokee lands.8<br /> <br /> During his second term as Governor of Georgia beginning in 1837 Gilmer supported and expedited the Federal government in the final removal of Indians from Georgia.9 This process came to be termed the Trail of Tears. n/a unknown

From the New Georgia Encyclopedia Jennie Knight Emory Univ.<br /> <br /> Before the Civil War 1861-65 the only Unitarian churches in Georgia were located in Augusta and Savannah. Following disagreements with the national association of Unitarians over the abolition of slavery the Augusta church closed in the 1840s while the Savannah church closed in 1859. Similarly southern Universalists often differed with their northern counterparts about abolition. There were more small active Universalist churches than Unitarian churches in Georgia before the war yet no congregations remained active afterward. A large Universalist missionary effort in the Southeast began in 1891 and attracted many new converts but after the Great Depression of the 1930s Universalist membership declined again.
