What was the purpose of land lotteries in Georgia? (To make the distribution of land more fair after the Yazoo Land Fraud; to encourage settlement along Georgia coasts; to legalize the distribution of land sold under the Yazoo Land Fraud; to discourage conflict with Georgia large corporations)

The primary purpose of land lotteries in Georgia was to make the distribution of land more fair after the Yazoo Land Fraud. The Yazoo Land Fraud involved corrupt land sales in the late 18th century, which led to widespread public outrage and calls for reform. The land lotteries were established in the early 19th century as a way to provide a more equitable means of distributing land to eligible citizens, allowing them a chance to acquire land through a random drawing rather than through corruption or speculation.
