The Northwest Ordinances were the framework for the settlement and government of the Northwest Territory.
Ordinances
The Northwest Ordinance of 1787 decided how the United States would add new territory and eventually new states to the Union.
The Northwest Ordinances attained a maximum population of five states to be admitted to statehood.
The following are features of the Northwest Ordinance of 1787: The Northwest Ordinance of 1787 governed the territory of what are now the states of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan and Wisconsin. The Northwest Ordinance of 1787, as in all territory ordinances, was written in line with what was at that time federal law. It allowed indentured servitude, except it prohibited slavery in the territory. It established guidelines for admitting new states, and it encouraged public education. Many of these ordinances were developed into the constitution when the territory became a state .
The principle effect of the Northwest Ordinance of 1787 was the integration of what is now called the Midwest United States (Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, and parts of Minnesota) into the United States as a whole.Its primary benefit going forward was that it set the trend that a territory under US Federal jurisdiction could apply (when it had sufficient numbers of people) to be a state with equal powers as the original thirteen states. This was as opposed to the prevailing view that they should be "subordinate states" or "permanent colonies" and was a wise decision to prevent the development of the same Anti-Metropole sentiment that led to US independence from the UK.
Two successful ordinances created under the Articles of Confederation were the Land Ordinance of 1785 and the Northwest Ordinance of 1787. The Land Ordinance established a systematic process for surveying and selling western lands, promoting orderly settlement and generating revenue for the federal government. The Northwest Ordinance set forth guidelines for the admission of new states, ensuring that they could develop with equal standing to existing states while also establishing principles such as religious freedom and the prohibition of slavery in the Northwest Territory.
July Ordinances happened in 1830.
The Northwest ordinance was an agreement that in the territories to the Northwest would not have any slavery. The Mason Dixon line was also created, it was a line that separated the North from the South just above Maryland. The Northwest Ordinance of 1787 claimed that new slaves could not be in the territory above this line.
