The process of admittance was established by the Northwest Ordinance of 1787, which organized the territory north of the Ohio River and east of the Mississippi River and established the precedent by which the nation would expand westward, forming federally governed territories, that when they had met the guidelines of the ordinance would become a sovereign state, rather than be incorporated into an already existing state. The Ordinance went further to describe that the territories north of the Ohio would be Free. Following this, and to some extent, the Missouri Compromise was also integral to the annexation (Texas) and admittance processes in Antebellum America, as it defined which states would have the option to be slave-holding, and which wouldn't.
