James Gunn's 1791 Scheadule

Winter 1791

During the winter months of 1791, James Gunn was touring Georgia preparing for his governor's run. He mainly was in Savannah where just two years ago, the Democrat-Republicans put up a good fight for the deputy seat. Gunn did try and meet with local leaders like mayors and he started to meet with some state legislatures but during the spring was mainly the time Gunn met with the state legislatures. The only time, Gunn left Georgia was at the very beginning of winter to go to Benjamin Franklin's funeral and memorial.

Spring 1791

In Spring of 1791, Gunn put in a lot of effort into meeting with state legislatures and winning over their support before they choose the next governor. Gunn also took an east coast tour of the south through South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia and Maryland to build support for Patriot candidates and for his proposed moving of the capital. After Gunn toured the south-east coast, he was back in Philidelphia to vote on important bills and during this time Gunn proposed his capital move act.

Summer 1791

Gunn spent a majority of his time in the summer in Maryland, meeting with state legislatures hoping that the Patriots can pick up the Maryland governorship. During this time, Gunn started writing newspaper editorials around the country in support of local Patriot candidates, especially in Maryland and Georgia. Gunn did spend some time in Philidelphia to vote on important bills.

Fall 1791

Starting off fall 1791, Gunn spent his time in Philidelphia but he didn't stay long. After Philidelphia, Gunn traveled along the western part of the nation meeting with state legislatures in proposed Westlyvainia, Kentucky and proposed Cumberland. To those state legislatures, he talked about preserving slavery in their state or if their area becomes a state. By the end of the fall, Gunn was back in Georgia to meet again with state legislatures in hope of their support for his run for governor.
