Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book details a significant legal dispute over land rights between Illinois and the United States government that lasted from 1818 until 1863. The author traces the legal and historical context of Illinois' two percent fund, which was reserved in its 1818 enabling act for road construction leading to the state. Congress had also approved the National Road, a federally funded infrastructure project, that was intended to connect the nation's capital to the Ohio River. However, funding shortfalls and shifting priorities led to the project being abandoned before it was completed west of Indiana. By examining official correspondence and legislation, the author explores how Illinois effectively leveraged its legal rights to claim compensation for the federal government's failure to fulfill its obligation to complete the National Road within Illinois' borders. The book provides valuable insights into the complex relationship between the federal government and the states, and the importance of respecting legal agreements and commitments.
