181433969Washington DC: A. and G. Way Printers 1814. First Edition. Wraps. Good. Disbound wraps. Approx. 8" x 5". 29 pages 1 page blank 1. On page 3 under Report reads "The committee to which was referred the bill from the Senate entitled "An act providing for the indemnification of certain claimants of Public lands in the Mississippi Territory." This report list several claims from those who purchased land from Georgia in 1794-95. This report relates to the settlements stemming from the Yazoo Land Fraud in Georgia during the latter part of the 18th century. After the Revolution Georgia had difficulty protecting its western boundaries from hostile enemies. In 1794 Georgia politicians passed a law transferring 35 million acres at very low prices to prospective companies to establish settlements. Georgia Federalist James Gunn arranged to have the distribution of money and Yazoo lands to legislators State officials newspaper editors and influential Georgians. The governor of Georgia James Matthews signed the bill into law in 1795. The Yazoo Land Act transferred 35 million acres in present day Alabama and Mississippi at a ridiculously low price of 500000 dollars to four companies. This land was then sold to speculators and companies willing to build settlements in the area. Georgia politicians were accused of bribery and dishonesty and James Jackson Senator from Georgia resigned his seat in Washington and returned to Georgia to fight against this flawed sale. In 1796 the Rescinding Act was passed by the Georgia legislature and signed into law by Georgia Governor Jared Irwin negating the land sale. With Jackson's allies in control of the Georgia Legislature all documents relating to the Yazoo Act were destroyed and officials that passed the the act were denied reelection. In 1802 all lands were given back to the United States. Those that had purchased land went to the highest Courts and in 1814 all settlements were paid by the U.S. Government. A. and G.

From wikipedia:<br /> <br /> Gilmer's career consisted of multiple alternating elected positions at the state and federal level. Of the two great Georgia political factions known as the Crawford men and the Clarke men he favored Crawford. He was elected to the Georgia House of Representatives in 1818 1819 and 1824. Gilmer was also elected to the U.S. House of Representatives in 1820 1826 1828 and 1832. Due to an oversight he did not serve after the election in 1828 because he failed to accept the position within the legal time frame and the governor ordered a new election.<br /> As governor of Georgia Gilmer aggressively pursued Indian removal laying claim to Federal assistance promised by the Compact of 1802.1<br /> <br /> He initiated the prosecution of Cherokee missionary Samuel Austin Worcester for violation of a law requiring all white persons residing within the Cherokee nation to obtain a license from the governor and to swear to uphold the laws of Georgia.23 Worcester was arrested in 1831 and sentenced to four years' hard labor.4 The Cherokee Nation hired a lawyer William Wirt and sued the state of Georgia in Cherokee Nation v. Georgia.5 This led to the United States Supreme Court decision Worcester v. Georgia which struck down the Georgia statute imposing its laws on the Cherokees as violating the Treaty of Hopewell.<br /> <br /> Backed by the Georgia militia and Governor Gilmer the General Assembly dissolved the Cherokee government annulled its laws and passed an act authorizing Gilmer to take possession of the Cherokee lands in north Georgia.6<br /> The Cherokee issue was hotly debated in the gubernatorial campaign of 1831.7 Gilmer lost the election to Wilson Lumpkin. The state seized Cherokee gold mines and set up a land lottery system in 1832 to distribute Cherokee lands.8<br /> <br /> During his second term as Governor of Georgia beginning in 1837 Gilmer supported and expedited the Federal government in the final removal of Indians from Georgia.9 This process came to be termed the Trail of Tears. n/a unknown
