Write 2 paragraphs explaining The Yazoo Land Fraud and the Land Lotteries of Georgia. Pretend that you are living during the 1800's and explain it that way. Make it personal.

Good lord, you're really gonna make me answer this. Here you go.

Explanation:

It is currently the early 1800s of this great nation. We have just overcame such a great scandal that was known as the Yazoo Land Fraud. This was named after the Yazoo River that was found around near where the land was supposed to be sold if this had worked. Apparently, many Georgia legislatures have been bribed in favor of selling land to speculators and plantation owners. That has not sat well with the federal government in the past. After Georgia lost the Fletcher vs Peck case on the Supreme Court, we had lost a major share of land, I heard they were gonna turn this extra land into more states or something. I guess those are the consequences of our actions.

The Land Lotteries were supposed to occur soon, hopefully I could win a good chunk of land in order to start a farm and a new life with my family. This would allow me to finally live a peaceful life away from the city, which always tends to stir up trouble. I recently heard they had managed to seize more Cherokee and Creek land and began to give it away so we could develop it. This sounds like the perfect opportunity!

(ur welcome)
