Why was the issue of the new lands a problem after the War of Independence How was this problem solved?

After the War of Independence, the issue of new lands became a problem due to disputes over land ownership, the need to integrate newly acquired territories, and the challenge of balancing interests between different states and settlers. The conflict over land policies and distribution led to tensions between states and the federal government. This problem was addressed through legislation such as the Land Ordinance of 1785 and the Northwest Ordinance of 1787, which established systematic methods for surveying, selling, and governing these new territories, ensuring orderly settlement and integration into the Union.
