Editing Bluffton, Georgia (section)

====Native Allies====
After Clay County's initial proposal was rejected by the state legislature, local leaders approached their local faction on the Creek Confederacy, known as the Coweta, about drafting a joint letter of grievances. 
The Treaty of Augusta in 1773 forced the native Cherokee and Creek<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.britannica.com/event/Cherokee-wars-and-treaties#ref1074422|title = Cherokee wars and treaties &#124; United States history &#124; Britannica}}</ref> to cede almost 2 million acres of land east of the Appalachians to the royal colony of Georgia. This also led to a strong connection between the Natives and the small townships on the western face of the Georgian and South Carolinian Appalachians, including Bluffton.
	The Coweta, who had not secured any territory rights from the Treaty of Augusta, sent a delegation to meet with the newly formed, self named “Constitutional Committee of Georgia” (leaders of several towns in the Clay County).
