Go Pro Northwest Ordinance!
July 13, 1787
Trail with the Northwest Ordinance!
The Northwest Ordinance will provide a fresh start and opportunities for you!
Rights, rights, rights!
Even though you'll be moving to new places, that doesn't mean your individual rights will be gone. You will still be free to practice your own religion, bail and trial by jury, and there will be no cruel or unusual punishment.
Slavery is not allowed!
The Northwest Ordinance will ban slavery in the Northwest Territory. This guarantees that anyone can enjoy freedom in the new land.
Land = Vote
If you own over 50 acres of land, you can vote!
Property
It guaranteed the property rights of settlers! This provided a democratic base to the expansion.
Expansion
The United States can now expand and have more land.
I want the Northwest Ordinance and so should you!
