The Northwest Ordinance was a act of the Congress of the Confederation that led to the creation of theNorthwest Territory, which was the first organized territory of the United States. This territory stretched from the lands beyond the Appalachian Mountains and south of the Great Lakes and Canada, north and west of the Ohio River, and east of the Mississippi River to Louisiana.
France had colonies in Quebec, Canada, areas around the Great Lakes, and the Mississippi River including New Orleans.
French explorers were interested in claiming the Mississippi River and accessing the Great Lakes primarily for strategic trade routes and economic opportunities. The river served as a vital waterway for transporting fur and other goods, facilitating trade with Native American tribes and later with European markets. Additionally, controlling the Great Lakes allowed the French to expand their influence in North America, establish military outposts, and secure territorial claims against rival nations, particularly the British. Ultimately, these waterways were key to establishing a profitable colonial presence in the region.
