From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
   Yazoo Fraud \Yaz"oo Fraud\ (U. S. Hist.)
      The grant by the State of Georgia, by Act of Jan. 7, 1795, of
      35,000,000 acres of her western territory, for $500,000, to
      four companies known as the
  
      {Yazoo Companies} from the region granted; -- commonly so
            called, the act being known as the
  
      {Yazoo Frauds Act}, because of alleged corruption of the
            legislature, every member but one being a shareholder in
            one or more of the companies. The act granting the land
            was repealed in 1796 by a new legislature, and the
            repealing provision was incorporated in the State
            constitution in 1798. In 1802 the territory was ceded to
            the United States. The claims of the purchasers, whom
            Georgia had refused to compensate, were sustained by the
            United States Supreme Court, which (1810) declared the
            repealing act of 1796 unconstitutional. Congress in 1814
            ordered the lands sold and appropriated $5,000,000 to pay
            the claims.
