By prohibiting slavery in the new states north of the Ohio River, the Northwest Ordinance (1787) would have established a numerical superiority of non-slave states over slave states. This would later be addressed by the Missouri Compromise (1820), and the Compromise of 1850 that admitted California. But the abolitionist movements gained strength in the North, resulting in the formation of the Republican Party in 1854 and the secession of Southern states in 1861.

You can just copy this if you want NO COPY RIGHTS: In my opinion the most important element was that it protected civil liberties and required that public education be provided.
