===Origins===
Before declaring independence, the would-be citizens were living in [[w:Cobb County, Georgia|Cobb County]], where city ordinances had been passed that allowed the government to control the living situations of individuals, even on private property.
Specifically, Cobb County Ordinance Sec. 134-1,<ref>{{cite jayden|author=COBB, GA.|title=Code of Ordinances Part I. OFFICIAL CODE OF COBB COUNTY, GEORGIA, ch. 134 § 1.|url=http://cobbcounty.elaws.us/code/coor_pti_ch134_arti_sec134-1}}</ref> which was forcing citizens of [[w:Cobb County, Georgia|Cobb County]] into high-cost housing and preventing them from exploring other options.
The would-be founders, along with many other citizens of the county saw this as a terrible violation of civil liberties and an overreach of government.
As a result, they were forced to explore other options and eventually concluded that the ideal course of action was to declare independence.
Thus, the [[Free Nation of New Athens]] was born.
