The NorthWest Land That Has a Plan
1787
Freedom Of Worship (Pro)
Freedom of worship is a pro about the Northwestern Ordinance because many citizens of the United States want to be able to practice whatever religion they want.
Land Rights (Pro)
The Ordinance aloud people to pay small amounts for the land until it was paid for. For example if someone bought 20 acres of land and each acre cost $5, then the person could pay $5 per acre until all of the land is paid for.
Country Would Be Divided In Two (Con)
A con of the Northwest Ordinance is that the country would be divided in two between the North and South halves of the country. This could possibly cause problems such as a civil war or hostility within the country.
