An effect of the Land Ordinance of 1785 and the Northwest Ordinance of 1787 was that

The Land Ordinance of 1785 organized and sold land in the Northwest Territory, while the Northwest Ordinance of 1787 set rules for governing the territory and admitting new states. These policies encouraged more settlers to move west, increasing competition for land and conflict with American Indians. The ordinances did not nearly double the country’s size; that happened later with the Louisiana Purchase.
