The Delaware Gazette

How bet­ter to get set­tlers to move into uncharted and untamed lands than to promise them the sus­tain­abil­ity and wealth that comes from the own­er­ship of land? Give them the land for free on the promise that they will go and set­tle that land, turn­ing it from wilder­ness to use­able farm­land, tim­ber­land or pas­ture. The pol­icy worked for Amer­ica, it worked for the Span­ish in Florida and it worked for Mex­ico in parts of what is now the Amer­i­can Southwest.
