The antebellum era was when Georgia

“Antebellum” means the period before the Civil War, especially the decades leading up to 1861. Georgia had already been founded and settled, had been one of the thirteen colonies, and had joined the Revolution before this period. During the antebellum era, Georgia continued to grow and develop as a state, so the correct choice is “began to develop as a state.”
