State cap. moves
from Milledgeville
to Atlanta
Beschreibung:
That action, along with the subsequent Camilla Massacre, which left about a dozen black protestors dead and thirty wounded, led the U.S. Congress to reimpose military rule to the state and to ban Georgia's newly elected congressmen from taking their seats in the next House of Representatives. This action provided a strong lesson in federal power to other southerners who had hoped to subvert the federal law and constitutional amendments.
