The correct answer is C) "I don't want the economy to weaken."
The quote that best summarizes the people of Georgia's concerns at the start of the Civil War was "I don't want the economy to weaken."
On January 18, 1861, the state of Georgia made an important decision. Georgia will secede from the Union and decided to be part of the Confederate states that would fight against the Union Army in the American Civil War. Most of the battles that were fought in the Georgia territory started in 1864 to 1865, when Union General William T. Sherman marched across the state to the port of Savanah, Georgia.
People from the state were really concerned about the economic situation that they were going to face after General Sherman and his troops destroyed their property and burned their crops.
