Northwest Ordinance pass or deny
July 27, 1787
If looking to start over, come settle in the Northwest Territory.
Come to the Northwest Territories, where you can find more land. We have a document called the "Northwest Ordinance." This document gives you free reign to colonize in any five states of your choice. Now, we don't have representatives or any form of government, but if we have a total of 5,000 settlers we will be able to send a non-representative to Congress.
Your Rights
When you come to the northwest, you still have equal rights that are the same as the ones in the original colonies.
States of your choice
Our territory has separate states instead of just one big chunk of land.
PRESS THE YES BUTTON!
Voting yes for passing the Northwest Ordinance will get you more land! More land means more money and a better home for you and your family to live in.
