Americans settling in the Northwest Territory could gain statehood by meeting specific population and governance criteria outlined in the Northwest Ordinance of 1787. Once a territory reached a population of 60,000 free inhabitants, it could draft a state constitution and apply for admission to the Union. Additionally, the territory needed to establish a republican form of government and ensure the protection of civil liberties and education. This process fostered orderly expansion and integration of new states into the United States.

Was the Louis and clark voyage a success?

To an extent it was. They did not find the "northwest passage", a river that led from the east to west, which would have been a major way of trading. However, hundreds of new plants and animals were discovered, more accurate maps of the west were created, and it opened Americans up to the idea of settling in western territory. So for the most part, yes, it was a success.
