Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book illuminates Maryland's impact on the establishment of a national commonwealth in the United States, and the constitutional importance of the state's opposition to land claims held by Virginia and other northern states. Rooted in historical geography and land-tenure, the author traces the conflicting claims of these states to the lands west of the Alleghanies and beyond the Ohio River following the French and Indian War. The author thoroughly investigates the influence of Maryland in securing a general cession of western territory for the public good and the origin of American territorial government and national sovereignty. Through its in-depth analysis of land grants and land speculation, both private and public, the author provides a fascinating glimpse into the business ventures of notable figures like George Washington, whose personal ambitions often intersected with extensive public benefit. This book is significant for its examination of how Maryland's insistence on placing land claims on a national basis, laid the foundation for the enduring territorial integrity of the United States.
