The five states that eventually formed from the Northwest Territory are Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, and Wisconsin. Additionally, a part of the sixth state, Minnesota, was also included in this territory. The Northwest Territory was established by the Northwest Ordinance of 1787, which provided a framework for the settlement and governance of these regions.
The Northwest Ordinance of 1787 decided how the United States would add new territory and eventually new states to the Union.
It provided for the surveying of the Northwest Territory, north and west of the Ohio River as far as the Great Lakes and the Misissippi River. This established that it would eventually become states of the United States. With the ascent of the South (which wanted to avoid agricultural competition), slavery was prohibited in the states formed from the Northwest Territory. This became important with the acquisition, 16 years later, of the lands of the Louisiana Purchase.
