Why did Georgia's capitals move away from the coast to the "backcountry" along the fall line?
1) The capital moved inland away from the coast because the further away from the coast it was the safer it would be from attack by foreign countries.
2) The capital moved inland because the pine barrens were bad for agriculture and it was attempting to find land that was better for growing crops.
3) The capital moved away from the coast to the "backcountry" along the fall line because it was trying to stay in the demographic center of the state.
4) The capital moved inland because the Yazoo Land Fraud embarrassed the state and the people wanted it moved away from the corrupt leaders in Savannah.
