Detailed explanation-1: -Answer. Answer: The “Headright” system and the Land Lottery of 1805 were similar in that each “was a method used by the state government to distribute public land to settlers", since the government at this time wanted to encourage settlement in the west.
Detailed explanation-2: -Answer and Explanation: In Georgia the headright system was replaced with a land lottery system in the early nineteenth century. These systems were similar in that they were meant to divide up huge tracts of land among people who were willing to work it themselves or hire people to work it into productive landscapes.
Detailed explanation-3: -The headright system grants between 200 and 1, 000 acres of land to the heads of families. By giving men land, they were able to obtain power. Farmers soon came looking for fertile farmland. Ranchers also flocked to Georgia in search of grazing areas for their livestock.
Detailed explanation-4: -The Headright System was replaced in 1803 by a land lottery for government-owned land west of the Oconee.
Detailed explanation-5: -Eight times between 1805 and 1833 Georgia held lotteries to distribute land, the largest held in the United States. The lotteries followed a simple pattern: The General Assembly passed an act that authorized the lottery and spelled out who would be eligible to participate and the grant fees that would apply.
