Georgians acquire land before 1803 through the headright system because last year when I was studying this, yes indeed they did the lottery system but when they got their land, it was a whole scam, they were just stealing money and so as a result it got shut down and so the land acquired before this all happened was through the HR system because land was passed to families and even women and sometimes military service got more some times but this all changed when the lottery system happened.

Before 1803, the Georgian government would allocate land to those who fought against the British. It went on well till 1795, and the process had to stop because there were too many discrepancies in the manner by which the land was allocated.
After 1795, legislation was passed where 60% of the land in Alabama and Mississippi were sold to 4 companies who were given the charge to give away land in Georgia. Even that had to stop because officials of the company began taking bribes.
