    In the Yazoo Land Fraud of 1795, politicians from the state government of Georgia sold large tracts of land to land speculators who were political insiders. The land is part of what is now Alabama and Mississippi. State politicians sold the land for low prices so that they could make a lot of money due to the sheer area of land they sold.
