One key provision that was not part of the Northwest Territory plan was the immediate establishment of slavery. The Northwest Ordinance of 1787 explicitly prohibited slavery in the territory, which was significant in shaping the future of the region and maintaining a balance between free and slave states in the United States. Additionally, the ordinance did not include specific guidelines for the distribution of land to settlers, which later led to various land policies.

Historically, the three steps that a territory needs to take to become a state are as follows: 1. The territory holds a vote to determine whether the people of the territory are for or against statehood. If a majority of the people vote in favor of statehood, then the territory petitions the U.S. Congress. 2. The territory, if it has not already done so, must adopt a form of government and constitution that is in line with the U.S. Constitution. 3. The U.S. Congress--both House and Senate--pass, by simple majority vote--a joint resolution that accepts the territory as a state. The President then signs the resolution, and the territory is officially recognized as a state.

Thomas Jefferson After the end of the American Revolution, Congress established a system for settling the new territory the United States acquired. The land involved was located west of the Appalachian Mountains and eventually became the states of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan and a portion of Minnesota. The Land Ordinances of 1785 and 1787 served as a framework for settling this Northwest Territory.

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. If this was not here, many children would have had no education and our economy would have gotten no where at that time, and it just made our community stronger.
