The Northwest Ordinance: Constitutional Politics and the Theft of Native Land
Robert Alexander
The western lands acquired from by the US from Great Britain after the Revolutionary War were divided into slave and free states, a compromise which precipitated the US Civil War. Drawing on contemporary letters and documents, this detailed analysis re-examines the Northwest Ordinance and how Congress silently permitted the South's “peculiar institution” to move westward.
