In the 1790s, the Yazoo Land Fraud saw Georgia legislators bribed to sell vast swaths of the Mississippi Territory to land companies at pennies an acre. This episode explores the scandal involving the Yazoo Land Act of 1795, the subsequent repeal, and the long legal battle that reached the Supreme Court in Fletcher v. Peck (1810). Lucas and Luna discuss how this early test of the Contracts Clause shaped property rights and federal power, and how the legacy of fraud affected Native American dispossession. They also touch on the role of figures like Robert Morris, James Jackson, and Chief Justice John Marshall. The episode reveals how a land swindle nearly broke a state and set a precedent for American jurisprudence. #YazooLandFraud #FletchervPeck #Georgia #MississippiTerritory #JohnMarshall #ContractsClause #RobertMorris #JamesJackson #LandSpeculation #SupremeCourt #1790s #EarlyRepublic #Corruption #PropertyRights #NativeAmerican #History #FexingoHistory #UnitedStates Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
