Which was an effect of the land ordinance of 1785? it encouraged settlers to fully populate the thirteen states. it brought money to the nation through the sale of public lands. it allowed slavery to spread into the northwest territory. it limited the growth of schools and public education.

The answer is It brought money to the nation through the sales of public land. This is because the law was made to divide the U.S. into a system of townships. This is because they wanted to have more sales of the land to settlers. So it brought money to the nation because of the sales of public land. 

Hope this helped :)
