The Yazoo Land Scandal
The government of Georgia had been weakened by the Revolutionary War. It was not strong enough to defend settlements in the western part of the state. The Georgia government thought it had found a solution to this problem with the Yazoo land sale in 1795. In the Yazoo land sale, the government planned to sell 35 million acres of land in western Georgia, near the Yazoo River, to four companies for $500,000.
