Unit 2 Illinois as a State

Early Land Claims Under Constitution, states ceded land to the federal government because states couldn’t manage or defend the land so far away Land Ordinance of 1785: western lands were divided into 6 mile square townships and each township was divided into 36 sections of 640 acres each Northwest Ordinance 1787: Northwest territory governed by a territorial governor until it had 5,000 free adult males. Elections could be held for a legislature at this point At 60,000 the territory could apply for statehood

Early land claims in Illinois Problems: Original states claiming the land = disputes Congress needs $ from the sale of the land Solution: States *cede (surrender; give up) territory – Why? Too far away and big to manage Passage of two laws...

*Land Ordinance of 1785 Orderly surveying and sale of NW Territory: Township system: 6 square miles/township Each township has 36 sections- 1 sq. mile each = 640 acres Section 16 reserved for education
