The Northwest Ordinance : Essays on its Formulation, Provisions, and Legacy PDF
Edited by Frederick D. Williams
Description
<DIV><P>Adoption of the Northwest Ordinance in 1787 ended a long and sometimes acrimonious debate over the question of how to organize and govern the western territories of the United States.
Many eastern leaders viewed the Northwest Territory as a colonial possession, while freedom-loving settlers demanded local self- government.
These essays address the ambiguities of the Ordinance, balance of power politics in North America, missionary activity in the territory, slavery, and higher education in the Old Northwest.</P></DIV>
