“It is the purpose of this book to show how the national public lands passed into private ownership during the first great period of our land system.”
In the
1783
Treaty of Paris
recognizing the
United States
, Britain also recognized American rights to the land south of the
Great Lakes
and west to the
Mississippi River
.
The
Continental Congress
passed the
Land Ordinance of 1785
and then the
Northwest Ordinance
in
1787
to control the survey, sale,
and settling of the new lands.
The original 13 colonies donated their western lands to the new
Union
, for the purpose of giving land for new states. These include the
lands that formed the
Northwest Territory
,
Kentucky
,
Tennessee
,
Alabama
, and
Mississippi
.
The state that gave up the most was
Virginia
, whose original claim included most of the Northwest Territory and
Kentucky
, too.
Some of the western land was claimed by more than one state, especially in the Northwest, where parts were claimed by
Virginia
,
Pennsylvania
, and
Connecticut
, all three of which had claimed lands all the way to the
Pacific Ocean
.
These actions were key to the westward expansion by tens of thousands of settlers.
