The Houstouns of Georgia
The Houstouns of Georgia shares the history of one of the oldest families in Georgia, showcasing its influential members and reflecting on the effect of one family throughout the state's history. Established by Sir Patrick Houstoun, who accompanied James Oglethorpe and helped him lay the foundations of the colony, the Houstoun family has called Georgia home since its inception.

Secession is opposed, but on practical grounds only: slavery is more secure inside the Union than out. But "the South is entitled to absolute security and quiet on this subject." The issue of fugitive slaves receives "especial notice." Indeed, the Convention asserts that preservation of the Union depends on strict enforcement of the new Fugitive Slave Act. This 'Georgia Platform' "became the cornerstone of southern policy for several years ... The Georgia Platform epitomized the attitude of the great majority of southerners in 1850. They still cherished their 'beloved Union' and would not part from it lightly ... but their acquiescence was emphatically conditional and not absolute"--Imprending Crisis / Potter
