Yazoo lands

The Yazoo lands were the sparsely populated central and western areas of the U.S state of Georgia, when its western border stretched back to the Mississippi River. These lands later became the states of Alabama and Mississippi. The far western panhandle of spanish territory Florida became the panhandles of the two states, and a small strip of South Carolina, also going west to the river, became their border counties with Tennessee (itself a former part of North Carolina).
