Congress intentionally chose a diverse mix of individuals for the territories, often selecting local leaders or prominent figures who could effectively govern and represent the interests of the settlers. This included military veterans, land speculators, and politicians, aiming to establish stable governance and encourage westward expansion. The selection was often influenced by political considerations and the need for loyalty to federal policies. Ultimately, the goal was to promote development and integration of the territories into the United States.
