Answer 1

The Northwest Ordinance of 1787, which "set rules for how territories could become states," had a significant impact on the future of slavery as one of the ways it affected the United States' westward growth.

What did the Northwest Ordinance of 1787?

One of the most important laws passed by the Confederation Congress, the Northwest Ordinance, protected civil liberties while outlawing slavery in the new region.

It was created to lay out the rules for admitting new states. Americans agreed that a governor would make their laws when they established a republic. Basic liberties were guaranteed under the Northwest Ordinance.

The Northwest Ordinance therefore outlined a set of local rights that were protected and established a procedure for admitting new states from the territory to the Union.  It also established a government for the Northwest Territory. The Northwest Ordinance forbade the formation of militias after the French were defeated in the French and Indian War in 1763.
