Answer:

James Jackson and his loyalists blocked any cession of the western territory until the Republicans were in control.

Step-by-step explanation:

Following the fraudulent sales of a 35million acres of Georgia land in 1795. A United States Senator representing Georgia, James Jackson, in his attempt to ensure that the land was never claimed by the land purchasers of the Yazoo Act, initially thwarted any formal giving up of ownership of the western territory until the Republicans were in control.
