The national government claimed ownership of the land west of the Appalachians and east of the Mississippi River for the national government rather than any of the states. The Land Ordinance of 1785 provided how this land would be distributed. The land was divided into square townships, each 6 miles by 6 miles. Each township was then further divided into 36 one-mile square sections. The Land Ordinance requred that (1) one section in each township be set aside for a school, (2) four sections in each township would be reserved by the national government to provide land bounties to veterans for the American Revolution, and (3) the government would sell the remaining 29 sections at public auction, with a minimum bid of $640 per section.
