The land offices had been opened; streams of German Scotch and Irish had come in from Pennsylvania and were fast spreading over the military bounty lands; and steps had been taken to admit Ohio into the Union as a state. The ordinance of 1787 provided that out of the Northwest Territory might be made not less than three not more than five States and drew the boundary of each of them." D.
