Georgia. General Assembly
During the Revolutionary War, those who remained loyal to England were labeled as "Tories" or "Loyalists." While some Loyalists were pardoned after pledging allegiance to the new country and joining Georgia militias and legions, all others were found guilty of treason. The Confiscation and Banishment Act of 1782 allowed the legislature to seize the property of all Loyalists, including the property of those who had fled the state.
