Answer:

The capital of Georgia moved during the 1800 due dot concerns about malaria( Which is a serious/sometimes fatal disease caused by a parasite that commonly infects a certain type of mosquito which feeds on humans.) which was spreeding in the lousiville area.

Step-by-step explanation:

Reportedly, the desire to move the capital also arose out of a concern about malaria in the Louisville area. In 1802 Creek lands west of Louisville were ceded to Georgia. No sooner had this territory been divided into counties than a drive to move the seat of government was again initiated. Between 150 million and 300 million people died to malaria.
