You may sue, but you will loose. In Georgia, an employer may discharge you for any reason, including a bad reason or a mistake, and you have no recourse. The sole exceptions are the EEOC grounds: Race, sex, national origin, religion, age, handicap. I find noting in your narrative that appears to be an EEOC exception, so you have no rights in Georgia.
