Why Did Georgia's Capital Move from the Coast to Inland?

The question refers to the U.S. state of Georgia, not the country of Georgia. Georgia's capital has indeed shifted from coastal cities to the interior over its history:

• Savannah (colonial capital, coastal)
• Augusta (moved inland along the Savannah River, 1785)
• Louisville (further west, 1796)
• Milledgeville (central location, 1804)
• Atlanta (current capital since 1868, major railroad hub)

The moves were driven by westward population expansion, the desire for a more centrally located government accessible to all citizens, and the rise of Atlanta as a transportation and commercial center after the Civil War.
