During which war did the events regarding the Georgia Platform and individuals like Herschel V. Johnson occur?

The correct answer is the Civil War, during which the Georgia Platform emerged as a significant political statement representing the position of Georgia on the issues of slavery and secession. The Georgia Platform was articulated in 1850, primarily in response to the Compromise of 1850, which aimed to address the contentious sectional conflicts over slavery in the newly acquired territories post-Mexican-American War.

Herschel V. Johnson was an important political figure during this period, serving as the Governor of Georgia and later as a Confederate general. His involvement and that of the Georgia Platform reflected the state's commitment to maintaining slavery and its view on relationship dynamics with the Union. The platform supported the Compromise but also emphasized Georgia's readiness to withdraw from the Union if it felt that its rights were being infringed upon.

In contrast, the Revolutionary War, War of 1812, and Spanish-American War occurred in different contexts and time periods, focusing on issues unrelated to the debate over slavery or the secession of Southern states, which were central to the events surrounding the Civil War and the Georgia Platform.
