What region(s) of Georgia did the Yazoo land fraud take place

Answer 1

The Yazoo land fraud primarily took place in the region of what is now western and southwestern Georgia, specifically in the areas surrounding the Yazoo River. The controversy involved the sale of land in present-day Mississippi and Alabama that had been claimed by the state of Georgia, leading to widespread corruption and legal disputes in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. The fraud itself centered around the manipulation of land sales by influential politicians and land speculators, ultimately resulting in significant political and legal fallout for the state.
