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.
