The‍‌‍‍‌‍‌‍‍‌ Yazoo Land Fraud was a scheme that covered significant tracts of the areas that are now Alabama and Mississippi, in which members of the Georgia legislature sold vast sections of the region to companies dealing in land at very cheap rates and then the sale was ‍‌‍‍‌‍‌‍‍‌annulled.

The Yazoo land fraud involved massive tracts of land in present-day Alabama and Mississippi that Georgia illegally sold to land companies in the 1790s. Corruption and bribery drove the sales, leading to one of the biggest land scandals in early U.S. history.

The Yazoo Land Fraud was a huge scandal back in 1795. Georgia officials sold millions of acres—land that’s now part of Alabama and Mississippi—to land companies in a shady deal that caused a massive public outcry.

The name “Yazoo” comes from the Yazoo River in Mississippi, but the fraud covered way more than that. It included huge parts of both Mississippi and Alabama. Back then it was all called “Georgia’s western lands,” even though today it’s nowhere near Georgia.

The Yazoo Land Fraud involved a huge area of land that is now part of Georgia, Alabama, and Mississippi. In 1795, Georgia lawmakers illegally sold this land to private companies at extremely low prices through corrupt deals, which later led to the sale being overturned.

The Yazoo Land Fraud affected a large region of land that is now part of Georgia, Alabama, and Mississippi. In 1795, Georgia parliamentarians illegally sold this land to private firms at incredibly low costs through fraudulent negotiations, which was later reversed.
