Georgia is the de facto cultural anchor of the South, a ballast for the Civil Rights Movement and a modern pioneer of the arts. While its capital of Atlanta does most of the heavy lifting, Georgia’s other cities also contribute to the state’s fabric. The coast is dominated by Savannah – a quaint remnant of the antebellum era – and its interior is held together by strongholds such as mighty Macon and militarily-important Columbus.
