 In the wake of what the people of Clay County saw as aggressive and illegal government overreach, as well as a potential threat to their own liberty, the growing confederacy of native tribes and Georgian townships met again in Bluffton in 1795 to consider their response to the Yazoo Act.For the first time in its brief history, a divide formed among the representatives who met in Bluffton.Surprisingly and luckily for the young confederacy, the divide was not based on ethnicity, but instead by geography.
