Definition

  • Once the United States won its independence from Great Britain, the infant nation faced many pressing problems—forming a stable government, establishing trade, dealing with foreign powers, and paying off war debts among them. The sale of unsettled land between the Appalachians and the Mississippi River in the eastern United States was critical to paying off those debts.
