February 12, 1825 A group of Lower Creek chiefs led by William McIntosh signed the Treaty of Indian Springs giving up all remaining Creek lands in Georgia. Subsequently, a group of Upper Creeks assassinated McIntosh on April 29, 1825 at his home on the Chattahoochee River. Opposition by Creeks to the Treaty of Indian Springs would lead to subsequent treaties in 1826 and 1827 whereby all Creek lands in Georgia were ceded to the state.

February 11, 1779 A skirmish between Georgia and South Carolina Loyalists and Patriots took place near Vann's Creek, in current Elbert County, Georgia. The Loyalist forces numbered some 600-900 men, while the Patriots had only 120, but the terrain offered poor visibility - likely neither side knew the other's numbers. The Patriots retreated after having sixteen casualties, with eighteen captured. The Loyalists lost approximately one hundred men.

Today in Georgia History:
February 6, 1785 Samuel Elbert was elected governor of Georgia. Born in South Carolina in 1740, Elbert was one of the earliest successful merchants in the colony of Georgia . Owning a considerable amount of land and running a profitable import business, he naturally was interested in British economic policies toward the colonies in the years preceding the American Revolution. Elbert was also a military leader and had risen to the rank of captain in the Georgia militia before war broke out with England. He was a major participant in the group of patriots who regularly met at Tondee's Tavern in Savannah to plan resistance to British policies. By February 1776, Elbert was a lieutenant colonel in the first continental troops assembled in Georgia. Being active in virtually all the Georgia efforts in the Revolutionary War, Elbert was taken prisoner after the Battle of Briar Creek on March 3, 1779. He was exchanged for a British general in 1781, promoted to brigadier general in the Continental Army, and immediately reported to General George Washington for duty. Elbert was on hand for the American victory at Yorktown and was placed in charge of the large deposit of arms and military stores taken in the battle.
After the war, Elbert returned to Savannah and his commercial business (left in disarray by the war), but soon was called upon for political service. In 1783 he acted as treaty commissioner for the Indian talks, and the following year was chosen as a delegate to the Continental Congress, but he declined to serve. In 1785, the legislature elected Elbert as governor of Georgia. Even though his health was beginning to fail, he accepted this position, devoting much of his attention to defense and Creek relations. Also noteworthy during his one-year term as governor was the passage of the act chartering the University of Georgia. After his term as governor, Elbert served one year as sheriff of Chathan County -- but by then his health was failing badly. He died on Nov. 1, 1788 and was buried near his home in Savannah. On Dec. 10, 1790, the Georgia General Assembly named a new county in his honor.

In 1864, he commanded the Army of Tennessee during much of Sherman's Atlanta Campaign before being replaced by John Bell Hood. In 1865, Lee named Johnston to again head the Army of Tennessee, with responsibility for Confederate forces in Georgia, Florida, and South Carolina. Johnston's surrender to Sherman on April 26, 1865 resulted in the end of the Civil War for Georgia. He died March 21 1891 in Washington D.C.

Today in Georgia History:
January 27, 1785 The Georgia legislature enacted into law Abraham Baldwin's proposed charter for the University of Georgia. In so doing, Georgia became the first state to charter a state university. The act's preamble declared:
"When the minds of the people in general are viciously disposed and unprincipled and their conduct disorderly a free government will be attended with greater confusions and evils more horrid than the wild uncultivated state of nature. It can only be happy where the public principles and opinions are properly directed and their manners regulated. This is an influence beyond the reach of laws and punishments and can be claimed only by religion and education. It should therefore be among the first objects of those who wish well to the national prosperity to encourage and support the principles of religion and morality and early to place the youth under the forming hand of society that by instruction they may be molded to the love of virtue and good order. Sending them abroad to other countries for their education will not answer these purposes; it is too humiliating an acknowledgment of the ignorance or inferiority of our own, and will always be the cause of so great foreign attachments, that upon principles of policy it is inadmissible.
"This country, in times of our common danger and distress, found security in the principle and abilities which wise regulations had before established in the minds of our countrymen. That our our present happiness, joined to the pleasing prospect, should conspire to make us feel ourselves under the strongest obligations to form the youth, the rising hope of our land, to render the like glorious and essential services to our country."
