Georgia in the War: British Blockade-- Part 3

The state of georgia then undertook its own defense of its shoreline and built batteries and fortifications at key locations, including Old Fort Morris at Sunbury (left over from the American Revolution) which was rebuilt and named Fort Defiance.  The battery at Point Peter in St. Marys was developed as well as other sites.

However, there were no serious British efforts to attack Georgia until late 1814 after Napoleon's defeat.

This involved the British occupation of St. Marys and Cumberland Island which I have written a lot about in previous post.
