The Georgia Platform was a set of resolutions written by Charles J. Jenkins. Adopted in December of 1850, it decided what Georgia would do with the Compromise of 1850. Georgia’s conclusion was that they would accept the compromise “as a permanent adjustment of the sectional controversy.”
However, the state also sent out a warning that any more encroachments made on the South’s rights would lead to Disruption of the union.
Charles J. Jenkins, 44th governor of Georgia
