Explanation:

The map is titled "The United States, 1783 with Western Land Claims" and shows different states (MA, CT, VA, etc.) with overlapping territorial claims in western lands. This directly points to competing land claims as the source of state disputes in the early 1780s, rather than British forts or Spanish control of Florida which are not the focus of the map's labeled land claims.

Answer:

conflicting claims on the western lands
