Since the early 1500s, the land we now call Georgia has been a site of dynamic social struggle, where generations of freedom seekers have fought back against the inhumanities of slavery and colonialism. From rebellious Afro-Indigenous and Seminole communities of the Sea Islands and Okefenokee Swamp, to inter-racial networks of anti-Confederate resistance during the U.S. Civil War, these are the stories of oppressed peoples of African, Indigenous, and European descent who lived and fought together for their collective liberation while building multi-racial and directly democratic communities within Georgia's most remote and secluded natural landscapes.
