A characteristic which distinguishes deprived from prosperous neighbourhoods is the dearth of local shops supplying good quality, nourishing food and household goods at reasonable prices. This situation increases disparity in health and quality of life between rich and poor and is a contributor to, and an outcome of, social exclusion. There is, however, increasing attention in regeneration projects to retail revitalisation initiatives (community and mobile shops, shopping area renewal, brownfield malls, subsidized public transport to shops, etc.).
Lachlan McIntosh (1728-1806) was a prominent Georgia planter, patriarch of his Highland Scots clan in America, and the ranking general from Georgia in the Continental army. Often, however, he is known simply as the man who, in a duel, mortally wounded Button Gwinnett, one of Georgia's signers of the Declaration of Independence. This biography fleshes out McIntosh considerably and, just as important, uses his life as a springboard for discussing the rapidly shifting political, social, and economic forces at work during a crucial period of Georgia's history.
Lachlan McIntosh Papers documents Georgia’s history during the early Revolutionary War period through the experiences of General Lachlan McIntosh, a prominent Scottish American political and military leader.
