The 1821 Land Lottery was the fourth lottery of the Georgia Land Lotteries, a lottery system used by the U.S. state of Georgia between the years 1805 and 1833 to expropriate Cherokee and Muscogee land and redistribute it to American settlers. The 1821 lottery was authorized by the Georgia General Assembly by an act of May 16, 1821. The lottery redistributed land in Dooly, Fayette, Henry, Houston, and Monroe counties. The expropriated land was divided into lots 202.5 acres in size which served as prizes in the lottery. Registration for the lottery occurred in the two months after the Act's publication on May 16, 1821, with drawings occurring between November 7 and December 12, 1821. Fortunate drawers from the previous Georgia land lotteries were excluded, as well as draft resisters who refused to fight in the War of 1812 or the Indian Wars, criminals, tax defaulters, and absconders for debt. The lottery was open to free white males, with some special rules related to soldiers, orphans, and widows.
