The Great Yazoo Lands Sale
Angebote / Angebote:
In 1795, the Georgia legislature sold the state's western lands (present-day Alabama and Mississippi) to four private land companies. A year later, amid revelations of bribery, a newly elected legislature revoked the sale. This book tells the story of how the great Yazoo lands sale gave rise to the 1810 case in which the Supreme Court for the first time ruled the action of a state to be in violation of the Constitution.
