I'm using the following postulates.
That the people then understood the situation they were in better than anybody looking back.
That the really big missed opportunity for the south happened in the 1820s to 1850s when the various attempts to supply the gold fields of GA, NC and TN from Mobile bay failed. Therefore I postulate a successful attempt.
My question therefore is what was needed in the way of portages get to Athens GA?
