Answer 1

Georgia's land lotteries

Step-by-step explanation:

In 1785, the University of Georgia was authorized as a land grant university, which meant that the federal government donated the land for the college. Thus, in the early 1800's, the Georgia land lotteries allowed people to register for an opportunity to win land which had been previously inhabited by Native Americans, such as the Cherokee and Creek Indians, who resisted to keep their land.
