The passages through the Mediterranean for reaching the Indian Ocean were occupied by the Arabs, and they were requesting large amounts of money or goods for passing through, and also the waters were very insecure because of the pirates. So Portugal was trying to find a way around Africa to reach the Indian Ocean and thus India, so that it can continue with trade of the goods from the Asian continent and keep its wealth and power on the global scene.

san4es73 [151]
<span>The effect of land policies by Georgia included the head-right system, land lotteries, and the Yazoo land fraud.  The headright system is the system that gave land to the settlers from the Indians and each man counted as one "head" of the household and could acquire up to 1,000 acres of land. This was replaced by the Land Lottery, which was any man 21 years and older could buy a change to spin a wheel,and any family with widows, children, or people who have served the country could get more chances than others. Also, the Yazoo land fraud was when people bribed others to pass a bill that let companies buy western land.</span>
