Reason #1- the states with western land claims did not want to give the land up Reason #2- land speculators were mad that they would not be able to sell the land that they had bought at a cheap price This led up to the Northwest Ordinance of 1785 and of 1787
Yes, it is true that some of the smaller states without Western land claims, such as Maryland, would not ratify the Articles of Confederation unless the larger states such as New York and Virginia abandoned their claims to land in the Ohio River Vallery. Since the Articles had been written so that they had to be ratified, or passed, by all thirteen colonies before they became effective, and the colonies were eager to proceed as a confederation of states, the larger states eventually gave up their claims. This enabled the Confederation to resolve the disputes over conflicting claims to these western lands and to set up the "Northwest Ordinance" which provided for a system of organization and development for these lands.
The dispute that threatened to divide the states during the ratification of the Articles of Confederation was the land beyond the Appalachian Mountains. The question was just who held the title to those vast lands. The King of England had closed the area to settlement in 1763. Virginia led the way by ceeding the northern part of her western lands to the government in 1781. The other states, except Georgia, followed suit. The Northwest Ordinances of 1784 and 1787 were then enacted to settle the land dispute and to map out the territories.
New Hampshire, Rhode Island, New Jersey are some of 13 states claimed.
