The primary effect of the ordinance was the creation of the Northwest Territory, from land south of the Great Lakes, north and west of the Ohio River, and east of the Mississippi River. This was the first organized territory of the U.S.

It was enacted to establish the precedent to expand westward across North America and admit new states, rather than just the expansion of existing states.
