Explanation:
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 The new legislature promptly rescinded the act and returned the money.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.
The Supreme Court case Brown vs. Board of Education ruled that the doctrine (idea) of separate but equal in American society is unconstitutional. This case overturned the case of Plessy vs. Ferguson, which originally established the idea of "separate but equal."
This court case was monumental, as it declared segregated schools illegal. This ultimately leads to the integration of whites and African-Americans in public schools.
Chief Justice Warren gave the majority opinion of the court and discussed how segregated schools had a "detrimental effect" on African-American children. Even though schools were supposed to be separate but equal before this Supreme Court case, this was never really the case. White schools often had more resources and better buildings to learn in.
