The Northwest Ordinance officially divided the north and south by using the Ohio River as the demarcation line between slave and free states. Slavery was banned above that line. Differences emerged after the Louisiana Purchase, as the new mass of acquired lands raised the question of whether the territory should be free or slave.
The Northwest Ordinance of 1787 addressed issues related to western expansion as well as slavery. It created the Northwest Territory and established borders with British Canada. It set the precedent for western expansion, and set boundaries for free and slave states by using the Ohio River as the dividing point.
The Northeast Ordinance of 1787 allowed for the creation of the Northwest Territory. Slavery in the Northwest Territory was forbidden, and a new border line used Ohio to divide between free and slave states. This separation of land began a national competition between the North and the South.
The Old Northwest, comprising territories northwest of the Ohio River, was established under the Northwest Ordinance of 1787, which prohibited slavery in the region. As a result, no slaves were legally allowed in the Old Northwest, although some individuals may have illegally brought enslaved people into the area. The Ordinance promoted free settlement and encouraged the growth of free states in contrast to the slave states of the South.
Though the Northwest Ordinance prohibited slavery in the states around the Great Lakes, the southern states approved of it. They did not want the northwestern states to become a competitor in the tobacco trade. At the time, tobacco cultivation was extremely labor intensive and was only profitable with slave labor.
The Northwest Ordinance of 1787 prohibited slavery in the Northwest Territory, setting a precedent for future territories to limit or exclude slavery. This helped contain the spread of slavery to the Southern states and contributed to the divide between free and slave states in the United States.

The Northwest Ordinance of 1787 established a framework for governing the Northwest Territory, which included areas that would become several U.S. states. It provided a method for admitting new states to the Union, set out a process for territorial governance, and established principles for land sales and the protection of civil liberties. The ordinance was successful in promoting orderly westward expansion and laid the groundwork for future statehood, ensuring a balance of power between free and slave states. Its principles of governance and rights influenced later legislation and the development of the American political system.
