The United States acquired hundreds of acres of public soil through buying, battle and secession during 1803-1848.

As the government discussed the most effective way to destroy these countries, more active civilian movement west of the Mississippi began with little respect for federal consent. Due to the rapid acquisition of land, Congress could not guarantee the existence of legal systems protecting people and property.

They had no land; but worked on it, waiting for the government to figure out how the land would be divided.
