What was the land ordinance of 1785 and why was it important ?

Hello,

The Land of Ordinance of 1785 was a law that divided much of the United States into a system of townships to facilitate the sale of land to settlersended the disputes between the states, created townships, expanded U.S. territory, and gave settlers land. 

This ordinance was important because it ended the disputes between the states, created townships, expanded U.S. territory, and gave settlers land.
