- Description:
- Encyclopedia article about Indian missions in Georgia. The history of Georgia's Indian missions (1735-1838) is a story of war, politics, assimilation, and displacement--a reflection of national and international events taking place near as well as far from mission premises. The spiritual element of the missions paled in the light of circumstances beyond the control of Georgia Indians and missionaries. All mission work came to a close in Georgia by the mid-1830s, as the removal of Southeastern Indians became inevitable.
