Yazoo land fraud, in U.S. history, scheme by which Georgia legislators were bribed in 1795 to sell most of the land now making up the state of Mississippi (then a part of Georgia’s western claims) to four land companies for the sum of $500,000, far below its potential market value. News of the Yazoo Act and the dealing behind it aroused anger throughout the state and resulted in a large turnover of legislators in the 1796 election. The new legislature promptly rescinded the act and returned the money. By this time, however, much of the land had been resold to third parties, who refused the state’s money and maintained their claim to the territory. The dispute between Georgia and the land companies continued into the 1800s. The state of Georgia ceded its claim to the region to the U.S. government in 1802. Finally the issue was reviewed by the U.S. Supreme Court, and in 1810 Chief Justice John Marshall ruled in Fletcher v. Peck that the rescinding law was an unconstitutional infringement on a legal contract. By 1814 the government had taken possession of the territory, and Congress awarded the claimants more than $4,000,000. The fraud was named for the Yazoo River, which runs through most of the region.
Douglass drew on the custom of natural law in his argument
against slavery. The past of Western equality and political belief places a strong
importance on fairness and social development, which Douglass contended must
have successively prejudiced the general ideas of America’s founding documents.
According to Douglass, slavery also opposed the formation story of the
Christian Bible, which states God “hath made of one blood all lands of men for
to live on all the face of the earth.” According to Douglass, the Bible’s assertion
of worldwide brotherhood, produced it to become a natural law that would have
affected the framers' conscripting of the Constitution.
