Sheehan, Bernard W.

OAH Magazine of History, v2 n4 p8-12 Fall 1987

Explains that in the 1780s the main political issue in the United States was a solution to problems which would make possible the creation of a great continental power and provide for the settlement and legal organization of the lands west of the Appalachians. Elaborates by explaining the ordinances of the 1780s which brought about this change. (BSR)
