The Land Ordinance of 1785 established a systematic process for surveying and selling western lands, which had implications for the spread of slavery. By designating certain territories as free or slave states, it influenced the geographic expansion of slavery in the United States. The ordinance facilitated the settlement of these lands, but the subsequent Northwest Ordinance of 1787 explicitly prohibited slavery in the Northwest Territory, creating a division that would later contribute to sectional tensions. Ultimately, the land policies of this period shaped the debate over slavery's expansion into new territories.
