This article discusses the parameters of the various bounties enacted by the Georgia legislature during and after the war. The 1781 act created a bounty that "was for good, or at least neutral, behavior for the last ten months of the fighting. Military service was not mentioned; all that was required was that the citizen do not plunder or distress his neighbors, or that his plundering be not so overt and notorious to justify conviction. This group of persons, which was twice as numerous as all of the fighting-men combined, received more land for merely remaining in the state for ten months, at home and at peace with their neighbors , than did the men who served and fought for eight years in the Georgia Line Regiments of the Continental Army."
