Explanation:

The Land Ordinance of 1785 was a law that dealt with the sale of public lands in the United States. It set up a system for surveying and selling land in the Northwest Territory. The sale of public lands brought in revenue for the nation. It did not encourage settlement in the thirteen - original states as it was about new lands. Slavery was prohibited in the Northwest Territory by the Northwest Ordinance of 1787, not allowed to spread there by the 1785 Land Ordinance. Also, it actually helped in the development of schools as a section of each township was set aside for public education.

Answer:

It brought money to the nation through the sale of public lands.
