The Land Ordinance of 1787 was called the Northwest Ordinance. It was an act of the Congress of the Confederation. The primary effect of the ordinance was the creation of the Northwest Territory as the first organized territory of the US out of the region south of the Great Lakes, north & west of the Ohio River, and east of the Mississippi River. It established the precedent by which the US would expand westward across North America by the admission of new states rather than by the expansion of existing states. Also, slavery was banned in this new territory, which had the effect of making the Ohio River the boundary between free and slave territories in the region between the Appalachian Mountains and the Mississippi.
White settlers in the Northwest Territory were primarily brought in by various colonial and federal policies, including the Land Ordinance of 1785 and the Northwest Ordinance of 1787, which encouraged settlement and land acquisition. Additionally, individuals and groups such as the Ohio Company actively promoted migration to the region. This influx often led to conflicts with Native American tribes, as settlers encroached on lands traditionally inhabited by Indigenous peoples.

The Northwest Territory was a region of land in the United States that was northwest of the Ohio River and east of the Mississippi River. It was formed through the Northwest Ordinance of 1787 and eventually became the states of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, and part of Minnesota.
The Northwest Ordinance, enacted in 1787 to establish a framework for governing the Northwest Territory, was often ignored in practice, particularly regarding Native American land rights. Settlers frequently encroached on indigenous lands despite the ordinance's stipulation that land should be acquired only through treaties. Additionally, the ordinance's provisions for civil liberties and public education were inconsistently applied, reflecting a broader disregard for the principles it established as settlers prioritized expansion over legal frameworks. This neglect contributed to conflicts and displacement of Native American populations in the region.
