Students turned in their 5 regions flip book that they started Thursday. We then took notes on and discussed Georgia's four modes of transportation.
Today's Notes:
Long term Assignments:
Geography Quiz Unit 1 Part 2 Tuesday September 9th.
Today in Georgia History:
September 3, 1752 This day did not happen in Georgia or the other British colonies. While the day before was Sept. 2, today officially was Sept. 14. As part of switching Julian to the Gregorian calendar, 11 days had to be eliminated from the year 1752. Sept. 3 was the first casualty.

Today's Notes:
Four Modes of Transportation Notes
Roads (Highway’s and Interstates) - 1732 to the present
Roads ran East to West
They followed Indian trails
Until the creation of the railroad they were the main east west mode of transportation
Many of these roads later became GA’s highways and interstates
Turnpikes were privately maintained roads which a toll was charged for use
Most improved in the 1920’s and 30’s as part of the New Deal
Interstate system created in the 1950’s (Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1956)
Waterways (Rivers and Ports) -1732 to the present
GA has 12 principal river systems
Rivers run North to south
The Savannah, Ogeechee, Altamaha, Satilla and St. Mary’s river flow in to the Atlantic
The Chattahoochee, Flint and Suwanee all flow into the Gulf of Mexico
Prior to the railroad and highway system rivers were used to transport goods to the ports
Savannah and Brunswick are GA’s two main port cities (they exceeded 1.8 billion dollars in revenue)
GA was the first state to export cotton to Britain in 1788
Rectangular barges used for transport (Oconee Boxes)
Good for down stream travel only
Steamboats allow upstream travel in the 1820’s
From GA goods are two truckload days from 82% US industrial market place and 79% of the nation’s largest consumer markets.
Rail Roads (Western and Atlantic) – 1836 to the present
First developed in GA the 1830’s to move goods east – west
Cotton was the primary good to be moved
Western-Atlantic ran from Chattanooga to its terminus (end of the railroad line) which later became Atlanta
Atlanta becomes a major hub for rail transportation
During the Civil War Atlanta was a strategic target because of the railroad
Airports (Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport) – 1925 to the present
Built on an abandoned racetrack 1925 – 1926
Of major importance for the import and export of goods
Major hub in the airline industry for the movement of passengers
Worlds busiest Airport

Today in Class:
Students continued working on the 5 regions flip book that they started Thursday directions can be found at the link below. This project will be due at the beginning of class on Wednesday, September 3.

Homework:
Finish your Flip book project if not finished in class today.

Geography Quiz Unit 1 Part 2 TBA
Today in Georgia History:
September 2, 1752 This was the last day the Julian calendar was officially observed in Britain and its colonies, as the Gregorian calendar was adopted effective Sept. 3. Because of errors in the Julian calendar, eleven days were skipped, meaning the day after Sept. 2, 1752 was Sept. 14. The beginning of a new year was also changed from March 25 to January 1. This explains why letters from James Oglethorpe indicated the date of arrival of the first colonists as "1 February 1732/33." Because much of the rest of Europe was already using the Gregorian calendar, dates from January 1 to March 25 frequently showed both the Julian and Gregorian year. Often, dates will indicate "O.S." for "Old Style" (i.e., Julian) or "N.S." for "New Style" (i.e., Gregorian). Thus, 1 February 1732/33 O.S. is the same as 12 February 1733 N.S.
