Some sections were also reserved for compensating the revolutionary war. <em>The main issue with this ordinance was that the price of land was too high and it favored the wealthy settlers. The terms for the sale were that 640-acres section were to be sold at the section for more than one dollar per acre. Poor settlers couldn't pay that amount.</em>
