Answer: 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.

Step-by-step explanation:

BOTH WERE GOVERNMENT EFFORTS TO ATTRACT SETTLERS TO GEORGIA AND ENCOURAGE ECONOMIC GROWTH.
