Slavery was outlawed in the Northwest Territory by the Northwest Ordinance of 1787. This legislation established a framework for governance and set forth the principle that slavery would not be permitted in the territories north of the Ohio River. The ordinance aimed to promote freedom and encourage settlement in these regions while laying the groundwork for future states. It marked a significant step in the early American struggle over the institution of slavery.
