Why was there a need for the landed states to give up their claims

Hope it helps

Explanation:

As their numbers increased, the potential for conflict over land grew. The Confederation government realized that the first step to solving the land ownership problems was to persuade the landed states to give up control of their western claims to the central government.

giant impact theory - the moon was formed from the collision between earth and another mars-sized body.

colliding planetesimals hypothesis - the moon was formed from the same cloud of material as earth.

capture hypothesis - the moon was locked into orbit by earths gravity as it was passing by it.

accretion hypothesis - the moon was formed from collisions and combining of planetesimals.

i think this is right, if not and you know better let me know.
