The Ohio ompC any and the Meaning of Opportunity in the American West 1786-1795 Abstract Founded in 1786 by former officers of the Continental Army to promote an orderly expansion of American society westward, the Ohio Company soon succumbed to the desire of many of its investors to make money. The aims of settlement warred with the desire to make a profit through land speculation; eventually the company dissolved, a casualty of its inability to reconcile the varied interests of shareholders and to manage westward development.

Ross May 2018 ©2018 Joseph T. Ross. All Rights Reserved. 2 This thesis titled “Landed Republick”: Squatters, Speculators, and the Early American West” by JOSEPH T. ROSS has been approved for the Department of History and the College of Arts & Sciences by Brian Schoen Associate Professor Robert Frank Dean, College of Arts & Sciences 3 ABSTRACT ROSS, JOSEPH T., M.A., May 2018, History “Landed Republick”: Squatters, Speculators, and the Early American West Director of Thesis: Brian Schoen This thesis examines the role that federal land policy played in the settlement and political development of the Northwest Territory from 1780 to 1802. In the waning years of the American Revolution the United States sought to acquire and use the lands of the trans-Appalachian West as a fund for extinguishing its public debt. The claims of the individual states and of Native Americans would be transferred to the United States, which would then exchange those lands for Continental securities. By placing emphasis on public creditors, Congress deliberately ignored the interests of actual settlers, including many who were squatting on these federal lands. At first the Confederation Congress adopted a policy of uniform land sales overseen by the federal government, but with disappointing results. In 1787 Congress decided to privatize western settlement by selling large amounts of land to private companies at a discount, who would then resell the land to actual settlers for a profit.
