This Day in Mr. Bruce's History Bell Work

What We Did In Class media type="custom" key="27997491"We learned today about the one successful and lasting accomplishment of the Confederation Congress under the Articles of Confederation. Do you know why Branch County is made up of townships with 36 square miles each? Do you know why county roads are generally east/west and north/south and are spaced at mile intervals? Ask your son/daughter. Because they learned about the Land Ordinance of 1785 and the Northwest Ordinance of 1787 and how these two laws created a revenue stream for Congress and territories for the addition of future states.
