In the early 1800s, Georgia enacted a series of lotteries to redistribute lands belonging to the Cherokee Nation. State surveyors divided Cherokee territory into parcels and awarded them to eligible Georgians who registered at county offices and paid fees. Pictured is a survey document describing the plat given to Thomas Baker in the 1832 lottery.

During the 1820s and 1830s, Cherokee Nation challenged Georgia’s actions in a series of U.S. Supreme Court cases. Despite limited recognition of Cherokee sovereignty, the rulings were not enforced, leading to Cherokee Removal in 1838-1839.
