The term that refers to the massive fraud perpetrated by several Georgia governors and the state legislature from 1795 to 1803 by selling large tracts of land to insiders at absurdly low prices is known as the Yazoo Land Act. They sold over 35 million acres of land for a ridiculously low 2 cents per acre to companies who then resold the land to make a large profit.
