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 The new legislature promptly rescinded the act and returned the money.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.

White people were apprehensive about the African-American soldiers. They didn't think that the soldiers were that good as soldiers since they didn't serve in a military and were new to all of the things in war. They also didn't consider themselves to be equal to them since they were white and the people in question were still African-American.
Some attitudes changed and some didn't. Although most of them still remained racists according to our contemporary understanding of the world, they did appreciate the african-american effort in the war since the african-americans worked hard and fought for the union and helped them win the war.
