townships.
Lesson 5: Early Quarrels and Accomplishments
How to develop the western lands the
Confederation Congress now controlled?
 How to govern the new lands?
 As the territory grew in population, it would gain
rights of self-government.
 When 5,000 free adult males lived in the territory,
the territory could elect an assembly
 When the population was 60,000, the territory
could apply for statehood
 Slavery was outlawed NORTH of the Ohio River
 Rivers were open to all for navigation
 Freedom of religion and trial by jury were
guaranteed
 Native Americans were to be treated fairly and
their lands not taken from them
