Description

This part of Georgia rolls gently. In Alabama, I'd call this piedmont, though the alleys of tight-packed pine suggest what, in Alabama, we'd call barrens. I don't know what they call this in Georgia or even if they call it anything. The speed everyone is keeping suggests it may not matter. I'm headed into Milledgeville, which a billboard proclaims is Georgia's Antebellum Capitol. This is a political designation: it was Georgia's pre-Civil War capitol, and the building is still downtown. A plaque on the old courthouse explains that, when the Union Army entered, the state seal was hidden by some local hero--an act that testifies to the singularity of the Confederate imagination: as long as we retain the creatures of our rights, we retain them. The billboard's graphic, however, suggests that the city is the primary manufacturer of Corinthian columns and nineteenth-century mansions; "antebellum" could signify a style rather than era.
