Dear Diary, November 15th, 1787 Our young nation has created a new Constitution that awaits our ratification. It is rumored each state shall be represented according to our census population in 1790. To increase the population the state government is practically giving away free land on the frontier … hundreds of acres at a time! This explains the rush of settlers to our state. In fact, for my service as a patriot in the American Revolution I have received payment in the amount of 200 acres of fertile lands east of the Oconee River. Can you believe the Georgia government wishes to provide me 50 additional acres for each member of my family? Surely my lovely Mary and our four beautiful children shall establish a cotton plantation with these 450 acres of land. If only there was an invention that removed those pesky seeds from the cotton fibers making it worthwhile of our labor, and profitable too…
