9,075,000 residents call Georgia home. Hernando de Soto of Spain traveled the area in 1540, but the English have disagreed -- while not offering a substitute explorer of their own.

Georgia was a Confederate stronghold during the Civil War, when general Sherman burned Atlanta -- graphically illustrated in the movie, Gone With The Wind. He moved to Savannah and took the city, which is on the coast, in 1864. Georgia is the largest state situated in the Southeast and has seen a lot of growth in industry.
