I did most of my research on the following political matters many years ago, and much of what I found is in agreement with and was subsequently published by Bruce Eelman in his Entrepreneurs in the Southern Upcountry (Athens: University of Georgia Press, 2008), chapts. 1 and 2. My major disagreement with Eelman is that he connects political activities too closely with economic issues; although I do agree that economic factors were important, I believe there were more nuanced causes. 8.
