12. Question The Northwest Ordinance did not organize the territories south of the Ohio River. Why might this pose a problem later in the century, particularly related to the issue of slavery?

13. Review – Northwest Ordinance The Northwest Ordinance was one of the most important acts passed in the early history of the United States. It set guidelines for allowing the formation of new states, and dictated that all new states would enter the Union with the same rights and status of older ones. It also banned slavery in the Northwest Territory, striking a blow against the institution and suggesting that the spread of slavery would be contested as the country grew.
