Southern Colonies Key The Southern colonies were established primarily for [blank_start]economic reasons[blank_end] The [blank_start]warm[blank_end] climate, long [blank_start]growing[blank_end] season, and [blank_start]fertile soil[blank_end] encouraged the development of a [blank_start]plantation economy[blank_end] Crops such as tobacco, indigo, and rice required a [blank_start]large labor force[blank_end] to maintain, which [blank_start]created[blank_end] a dependence on the use of [blank_start]indentured[blank_end] servants and enslaved [blank_start]laborers[blank_end], something not as prevalent in colonies [blank_start]farther north[blank_end] While relations with [blank_start]American Indians[blank_end] in the Southern Colonies began [blank_start]peacefully[blank_end], as more English colonists arrived and took over [blank_start]native[blank_end] lands, the relationship became more [blank_start]hostile[blank_end] The expanding English [blank_start]population[blank_end] and the increasing [blank_start]economic development[blank_end] of the region contributed to growing [blank_start]tension[blank_end] between settlers and American Indians (SSUSH1b)

New England Colonies The first New England colonies were established by the [blank_start]Puritans[blank_end] in present-day Massachusetts. Most of the [blank_start]colonists[blank_end] came with their whole family to pursue a [blank_start]better[blank_end] life and to practice [blank_start]religion[blank_end] as they saw fit. As a result of [blank_start]strict[blank_end] religious beliefs, the Puritans were not [blank_start]tolerant[blank_end] of different religions. New England had a [blank_start]colder[blank_end] climate and rocky soil, so [blank_start]farming[blank_end] was more [blank_start]difficult[blank_end] in this region than in the other colonies Because of this, the [blank_start]economy[blank_end] in New England relied more on trade, ship [blank_start]building[blank_end], fishing, whaling, and lumber than it did on [blank_start]agriculture[blank_end]. After some early and bloody [blank_start]conflicts[blank_end] that resulted in many American Indians leaving the area, settlers began to [blank_start]expand farther[blank_end] into southern New England. (SSUSH1c)

Mid-Atlantic Colonies The Mid-Atlantic colonies were founded as [blank_start]money making[blank_end] ventures designed to make use of the good [blank_start]harbors[blank_end] and [blank_start]river[blank_end] systems that helped to transport [blank_start]goods[blank_end] toward the coast. American Indians in the Mid-Atlantic colonies were often more relied upon for [blank_start]trade[blank_end] with the English and not the target of [blank_start]war[blank_end], as often happened in other colonial regions. Some groups were treated with [blank_start]respect[blank_end] and were [blank_start]compensated[blank_end] by the English for the [blank_start]loss[blank_end] of their land. These were the most ethnically and religiously [blank_start]diverse[blank_end] of the colonies. The primary [blank_start]products[blank_end] of the Mid-Atlantic colonies were [blank_start]agriculture[blank_end] (wheat, corn, and other grains), lumber, livestock, and [blank_start]iron[blank_end] ore and iron products (SSUSH1d)

Mercantilism The founders of the English colonies were greatly [blank_start]influenced[blank_end] by an [blank_start]economic theory[blank_end] known as mercantilism. This theory held that Earth had a [blank_start]limited supply[blank_end] of wealth in the form of [blank_start]natural resources[blank_end], especially [blank_start]gold and silver[blank_end], so the best way to become a [blank_start]stronger[blank_end] nation was to acquire the most [blank_start]wealth[blank_end]. Because the world’s wealth was thought to be [blank_start]limited[blank_end], the more one country had, the [blank_start]less[blank_end] any other country could have. Consequently, as a nation became [blank_start]stronger and wealthier[blank_end], its enemies became [blank_start]poorer and weaker[blank_end]. The American colonies were used as a source of [blank_start]raw materials[blank_end] for the [blank_start]English[blank_end], which helped [blank_start]increase[blank_end] the wealth of the mother country. This also helped to foster a favorable [blank_start]balance of trade[blank_end] between the two regions: [blank_start]materials[blank_end] that were not available in England could be acquired from the colonies and [blank_start]manufactured good[blank_end]s that were not produced in the colonies could be acquired from England (SSUSH1a)

Growth of the African Population As [blank_start]tobacco[blank_end] farmers and other [blank_start]cash-crop[blank_end] farmers [blank_start]prospered[blank_end], they greatly [blank_start]expanded[blank_end] the size of their farms. There were never enough [blank_start]workers[blank_end] available to plant, grow, and harvest the crops, so farmers turned to [blank_start]African slaves[blank_end] to do this work. When the Virginia Company founded Jamestown in 1607, there were [blank_start]no[blank_end] African slaves in English North America. By 1700, however, there were [blank_start]thousands[blank_end] of African slaves throughout the English colonies. The [blank_start]vast majority[blank_end] of these slaves were located in the [blank_start]Southern colonies[blank_end], where they supplied the labor required to support the region’s [blank_start]agriculturally[blank_end] based economy (SSUSH2b)

The Middle Passage The [blank_start]sea voyage[blank_end] that carried [blank_start]Africans[blank_end] to [blank_start]North America[blank_end] was called the Middle Passage because it was the middle portion of a [blank_start]three-way[blank_end] voyage, also known as the [blank_start]trans-Atlantic[blank_end] trade, made by the slave ships. Enslaved Africans were loaded aboard the [blank_start]ships[blank_end]. Between three and four hundred [blank_start]slaves[blank_end] were packed into cargo holds of these ships for the journey to North America. Conditions aboard the slave ships were [blank_start]horrific[blank_end] About twenty percent of slaves did not [blank_start]survive[blank_end] the journey (SSUSH2b)

Trans-Atlantic Trade Also known as the [blank_start]triangular[blank_end] trade, this [blank_start]three-way[blank_end] voyage was made by [blank_start]merchant[blank_end] ships. First, [blank_start]English[blank_end] ships loaded with rum, cloth, and other English [blank_start]goods[blank_end] sailed to [blank_start]Africa[blank_end], where these goods were [blank_start]traded[blank_end] for Africans originally enslaved by other Africans. Then, in the [blank_start]Middle Passage[blank_end], the slaves would be transported to the [blank_start]New World[blank_end]. The crew would buy [blank_start]tobacco[blank_end] and other American goods using [blank_start]profits[blank_end] they made from [blank_start]selling[blank_end] the slaves in the [blank_start]colonies[blank_end], and they would [blank_start]ship[blank_end] the tobacco and goods back to [blank_start]England[blank_end]. [blank_start]Manufactured[blank_end] goods would be shipped to the colonies while [blank_start]raw[blank_end] goods arrived in England from the New World. This process was [blank_start]repeated[blank_end] for decades (SSUSH2b)

The Great Awakening During the 1730s, [blank_start]religion[blank_end] in Europe was [blank_start]changing[blank_end] . This was partially in [blank_start]reaction[blank_end] to earlier movements toward [blank_start]logic and reason[blank_end] and encouraged a more [blank_start]personal[blank_end] approach to [blank_start]faith and scripture[blank_end] . This change made its way to the [blank_start]northeastern[blank_end] colonies in the 1730s and 1740s . [blank_start]Ministers[blank_end] said people would [blank_start]feel[blank_end] God’s love only if they admitted their [blank_start]sins[blank_end] . People were told that each [blank_start]believer[blank_end] should seek his or her own personal and emotional [blank_start]relationship[blank_end] with God and that doing this was more [blank_start]important[blank_end] than the [blank_start]Puritan[blank_end] idea of congregations gathering together to hear [blank_start]intellectual[blank_end] sermons . These ministers attracted enormous [blank_start]audiences[blank_end] and often traveled from [blank_start]colony to colony[blank_end] to preach to anyone who wanted to listen, regardless of what church he or she might belong to . Christianity [blank_start]grew[blank_end] with the development of new denominations and [blank_start]increased[blank_end] opportunities for church members to become involved in leadership positions . Established churches lost members to the new way of Christian worship . Some preachers said [blank_start]American society[blank_end] had become as [blank_start]corrupt[blank_end] as the English society the colonists’ ancestors had escaped . (SSUSH2d)

Salutary Neglect Beginning in the 1720s, the American colonies had more [blank_start]freedom[blank_end] to trade and [blank_start]govern[blank_end] themselves because the English government adopted a [blank_start]policy[blank_end] of Salutary Neglect. It was believed that the colonies would be [blank_start]more profitable[blank_end] for the English government if they had fewer [blank_start]regulations[blank_end] placed on them. This enabled the colonies to develop local methods of [blank_start]self-governance[blank_end], including [blank_start]colonial governors[blank_end] and elected legislatures. Colonies levied their own [blank_start]local taxes[blank_end] and held town meetings to [blank_start]make decisions on issues[blank_end]. This policy of Salutary Neglect [blank_start]contributed[blank_end] to Americans’ [blank_start]confidence[blank_end] in their ability to [blank_start]self-govern[blank_end] and to the development of an independent American [blank_start]identity[blank_end], which, in turn, contributed to eventual [blank_start]conflict[blank_end] between England and the colonies (SSUSH2c)

French and Indian War The French and Indian War resulted from a long-simmering rivalry between [blank_start]Great Britain[blank_end] and France and their competition for territory in North America. The French and Indian War broke out in [blank_start]1754[blank_end] when Great Britain challenged the French for control of the land that is now [blank_start]Ohio and western Pennsylvania[blank_end]. American Indians tended to support the [blank_start]French[blank_end] because as [blank_start]fur traders[blank_end], the French were not as focused as the English on building [blank_start]permanent settlements[blank_end]. Great Britain eventually [blank_start]won[blank_end] the war. [blank_start]The Treaty of Paris[blank_end] (1763), which [blank_start]ended[blank_end] the French and Indian War, forced France to turn over control of [blank_start]Canada[blank_end] to Great Britain. [blank_start]France[blank_end] also [blank_start]surrendered[blank_end] its claim to all land [blank_start]east of the Mississippi River[blank_end], with the exception of the city of [blank_start]New Orleans[blank_end] (SSUSH3a). Additionally, the treaty gave the British government more control over its [blank_start]colonies[blank_end]. The colonists [blank_start]objected[blank_end] to the loss of control over their own affairs, and some Americans began to think about an American [blank_start]revolution[blank_end]. Tensions grew when [blank_start]Parliament[blank_end] passed laws to [blank_start]tax[blank_end] the colonists to pay for the cost of keeping [blank_start]a large standing army[blank_end] in North America that would protect both Britain’s [blank_start]possessions[blank_end] and the American [blank_start]colonists[blank_end] from attacks. [blank_start]Tensions[blank_end] increased with the [blank_start]Proclamation of 1763[blank_end], by which Americans were [blank_start]forbidden[blank_end] from [blank_start]settling[blank_end] beyond the [blank_start]Appalachian Mountains[blank_end] in an effort to limit their [blank_start]conflicts[blank_end] with American Indians as well as to keep colonists in designated areas to allow the government to gain much-needed [blank_start]revenue[blank_end]. (SSUSH3b)

Colonial Resistance England’s American colonists believed the [blank_start]king[blank_end] and Parliament were [blank_start]violating[blank_end] their rights as Englishmen. Among the [blank_start]rights[blank_end] they felt were being violated were [blank_start]protection[blank_end] from [blank_start]taxation without representation[blank_end], the right to a [blank_start]trial by a jury of their peers[blank_end], protection from [blank_start]searches without warrants[blank_end], and protection from [blank_start]having troops[blank_end] quartered on their [blank_start]property[blank_end]. Parliamentary actions to tax the colonists or to [blank_start]enforce[blank_end] the tax laws provoked a [blank_start]negative reaction[blank_end] from the colonists that eventually led to open [blank_start]rebellion[blank_end]. These actions included the Stamp Act and the Intolerable Acts • [blank_start]The Stamp Act[blank_end] required the colonists to print [blank_start]newspapers[blank_end], legal [blank_start]documents[blank_end], [blank_start]playing[blank_end] cards, and so forth on paper bearing special stamps (similar to [blank_start]postage stamps[blank_end]). Buying the stamped paper was the [blank_start]equivalent[blank_end] of paying a tax. Some colonists formed groups called the [blank_start]Sons of Liberty[blank_end] to stop distribution of the stamped paper. Nine colonies sent representatives to the Stamp Act Congress, which sent a [blank_start]formal[blank_end] protest to the king (SSUSH3b). • [blank_start]The Intolerable Acts[blank_end] closed the [blank_start]port[blank_end] of Boston as punishment for the Boston Tea Party. These acts also allowed [blank_start]British officials[blank_end] accused of [blank_start]major crimes[blank_end] to be tried in [blank_start]England[blank_end] and forced the colonists to house British troops on their property. These [blank_start]acts[blank_end], along with the [blank_start]suspension[blank_end] of the Massachusetts colonial government, were designed to [blank_start]discourage[blank_end] the colonists from [blank_start]resisting[blank_end] British authority, but in fact [blank_start]unified[blank_end] them to work [blank_start]against[blank_end] the British government (SSUSH3b).

Committees of Correspondence The Committees of Correspondence formed in [blank_start]reaction[blank_end] to the passage of the [blank_start]Stamp Act[blank_end]. Their purpose was to keep colonies in [blank_start]communication[blank_end] about issues of concern to the [blank_start]colonists[blank_end], particularly in relation to British actions or [blank_start]legislation[blank_end]. These committees helped to [blank_start]protest[blank_end] actions that the colonists believed were [blank_start]unfair[blank_end]. American colonists opposed to [blank_start]British authority[blank_end] in Massachusetts formed a [blank_start]secret organization[blank_end] called the Sons of Liberty. To show their [blank_start]dislike[blank_end] of British rule, they damaged British property, including government offices, and the homes of wealthy supporters of the British. The Daughters of Liberty joined the Sons of Liberty in [blank_start]protesting[blank_end] British rule in North America. They [blank_start]wove homespun fabric[blank_end] to make clothes and other goods so the colonists would [blank_start]not[blank_end] [blank_start]need[blank_end] to [blank_start]rely[blank_end] on British imports (SSUSH3b)

Common Sense In January 1776, [blank_start]Thomas Paine[blank_end] published Common Sense. This small [blank_start]pamphlet[blank_end] had a big effect on [blank_start]colonists[blank_end] and moved many Americans to support [blank_start]independence[blank_end] from Great Britain. Colonists were [blank_start]persuaded[blank_end] by the [blank_start]logic[blank_end] of Paine’s [blank_start]arguments[blank_end]. Some of these arguments were the following: • The Atlantic Ocean was [blank_start]too wide[blank_end] to allow Britain to rule America as well as an American government could. • It was foolish to think an [blank_start]island[blank_end] could rule a [blank_start]continent[blank_end]. • The idea of Britain being America’s “mother country” made Britain’s actions all the [blank_start]worse[blank_end] because no [blank_start]mother[blank_end] would treat her [blank_start]children[blank_end] so [blank_start]badly[blank_end] (SSUSH3c).

Committee of Five Five delegates were chosen by the [blank_start]Continental Congress[blank_end] to write a [blank_start]rationale[blank_end] for [blank_start]independence[blank_end]. They were: Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, John Adams, Robert Livingston, and Roger Sherman. This group eventually presented a [blank_start]draft[blank_end] of the Declaration of Independence (primarily written by [blank_start]Jefferson[blank_end]) to the Continental Congress for review (SSUSH4a)

Declaration of Independence The Declaration of Independence is one of the most [blank_start]important[blank_end] documents in American history. Thomas Jefferson wrote the [blank_start]first draft[blank_end] and then made [blank_start]revisions[blank_end] suggested by John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, and others. Because the Declaration addressed a worldwide [blank_start]audience[blank_end], its language was made [blank_start]simple[blank_end] and direct so people [blank_start]everywhere[blank_end] would understand and [blank_start]sympathize[blank_end] with the colonists’ cause. After it explains the philosophical and legal reasons for seeking independence from Britain, the Declaration has its [blank_start]longest[blank_end] section, which gives numerous examples of how King George III [blank_start]violated[blank_end] the rights of the colonists. Finally, the Declaration offers a discussion of the Americans’ many unsuccessful attempts to get [blank_start]relief[blank_end] from Britain and ends with the [blank_start]conclusion[blank_end] that the only way for Americans to have their rights [blank_start]restored[blank_end] is to restore them themselves by [blank_start]declaring[blank_end] independence from Britain and by [blank_start]controlling[blank_end] their own government (SSUSH4a)

George Washington and the Continental Army When the American Revolution [blank_start]began[blank_end], George Washington was named commander in chief of the Continental Army. He displayed extraordinary [blank_start]leadership[blank_end] abilities in the role. Washington [blank_start]reorganized[blank_end] the army, secured [blank_start]additional equipment and supplies[blank_end], and started a [blank_start]training program[blank_end] to turn [blank_start]inexperienced[blank_end] recruits into a [blank_start]professional[blank_end] military. This training program was aided by Baron von Steuben, a Prussian military officer who had experience in [blank_start]training troops[blank_end] for battle and [blank_start]typical[blank_end] 18th century [blank_start]combat[blank_end] techniques. He developed [blank_start]uniform[blank_end] military [blank_start]drills and practices[blank_end] to make Washington’s [blank_start]untrained[blank_end] army into a more [blank_start]effective[blank_end], well-trained fighting force. Life was [blank_start]hard[blank_end] for the common soldier in the Continental Army. Enlistments lasted from [blank_start]one to three years[blank_end], and the states [blank_start]differed[blank_end] in how they [blank_start]treated[blank_end] their soldiers in terms of the following: how [blank_start]well[blank_end] and how often they [blank_start]paid[blank_end] their soldiers; how they housed them when they were not on the [blank_start]march[blank_end]; and how they [blank_start]supplied[blank_end] them with food, clothing, and equipment. These issues [blank_start]undermined[blank_end] morale, as did the army’s [blank_start]stern[blank_end] discipline, the chances of being wounded or killed, and British victories. In winter of 1777–1778, the Continental Army faced one of its most [blank_start]difficult[blank_end] trials at [blank_start]Valley Forge[blank_end]. It suffered from [blank_start]starvation[blank_end], disease, and the lack of [blank_start]adequate shelter[blank_end]. Despite its [blank_start]hardships[blank_end], under the leadership of George Washington, the army was able to [blank_start]remain together[blank_end] and receive valuable training so that it could fight the British in 1778 (SSUSH4c).

French Alliance France decided to support the [blank_start]Americans[blank_end] during the Revolution as a result of the American victory at the [blank_start]Battle of Saratoga[blank_end] in 1777. Benjamin Franklin, the [blank_start]American[blank_end] diplomat in Paris, signed [blank_start]economic[blank_end] and military [blank_start]treaties[blank_end] with France for the United States. France sent [blank_start]army and navy[blank_end] units to fight on the side of the Americans. [blank_start]Military specialists[blank_end] such as the Marquis de Lafayette assisted in the training of American forces. Lafayette worked closely with George Washington and was very [blank_start]successful[blank_end] and brave during many battles of the American Revolution. The [blank_start]assistance[blank_end] of the [blank_start]French[blank_end] navy (at the Battle of Yorktown in particular) and trainers like Lafayette were [blank_start]instrumental[blank_end] in [blank_start]winning[blank_end] the British [blank_start]surrender[blank_end] (SSUSH4b).

Label the locations of major battles in the War for Independence:

Yorktown In 1781, with the help of the [blank_start]French[blank_end] navy, which prevented the British from [blank_start]escaping[blank_end], the American forces were able to [blank_start]defeat[blank_end] the British in three weeks of fighting. [blank_start]British[blank_end] General Cornwallis surrendered to George Washington at Yorktown on October 17, 1781. This [blank_start]victory[blank_end] marked the end of the [blank_start]American Revolution[blank_end] (SSUSH4d).

Free Blacks during the Revolution Enslaved and [blank_start]free[blank_end] Blacks, in many cases, viewed the American Revolution as an [blank_start]opportunity[blank_end] for [blank_start]expanding[blank_end] their own rights with the basis for [blank_start]revolution[blank_end] being a call to protect [blank_start]natural[blank_end] rights. Estimates suggest at least 5,000 enslaved and free Blacks fought with the [blank_start]Patriots[blank_end]. However, those who fought with the Continental Army and with the colonial militia groups did [blank_start]not[blank_end] receive their [blank_start]freedom[blank_end] (if they were enslaved) or [blank_start]equal rights[blank_end] (if they were free) following the conclusion of the Revolutionary War (SSUSH4e).

1783 Treaty of Paris The 1783 Treaty of Paris formally [blank_start]concluded[blank_end] the American Revolutionary War. The United States [blank_start]won[blank_end] its independence from Great Britain and gained [blank_start]control[blank_end] of land stretching to the [blank_start]Mississippi River[blank_end]. Britain ceded [blank_start]Florida[blank_end] to [blank_start]Spain[blank_end] and certain African and Caribbean colonies to France (SSUSH4f).

Constitutional Convention At the 1787 Constitutional Convention in [blank_start]Philadelphia[blank_end], delegates from all thirteen states met to discuss [blank_start]revisions[blank_end] to the [blank_start]Articles of Confederation[blank_end]. The delegates quickly decided that [blank_start]revising[blank_end] the Articles of Confederation would [blank_start]not[blank_end] be enough. They decided to write a new [blank_start]constitution[blank_end] for the country. During the Constitutional Convention, [blank_start]delegates[blank_end] became organized into two groups: Federalists and Anti-Federalists. [blank_start]Federalists[blank_end] like Alexander Hamilton and James Madison generally wanted a [blank_start]strong[blank_end] [blank_start]national[blank_end] government that could handle national economic, political, and [blank_start]diplomatic[blank_end] issues for the country. [blank_start]Anti-Federalists[blank_end], on the other hand, wanted to maintain the [blank_start]sovereignty[blank_end] of the [blank_start]individual states[blank_end]. They were concerned that too much [blank_start]power[blank_end] would be given to the [blank_start]national government[blank_end] and the [blank_start]states[blank_end] would lose control over their individual interests. They believed that a national government with a strong [blank_start]executive[blank_end] branch would be able to [blank_start]dominate[blank_end] the states and take away the rights of individual citizens. In particular, delegates from the [blank_start]small[blank_end] states worried that they would lose representation in a national government that [blank_start]favored[blank_end] states with larger populations. Eventually, the delegates reached a [blank_start]compromise[blank_end] known as the Great Compromise. James Madison managed to convince the delegates from the small states and large states to [blank_start]give up[blank_end] some of their demands. Under the compromise, the Constitution would [blank_start]create[blank_end] a system of [blank_start]checks and balances[blank_end] among the [blank_start]three branches[blank_end] of government: the executive, the legislative, and the judicial. The compromise also created a legislative branch with two houses (the House of Representatives and the Senate) that satisfied the concerns of representation that the small states and large states had. Another [blank_start]concern[blank_end] Anti-Federalists had was the [blank_start]rights[blank_end] of individuals and states. They wanted to guarantee [blank_start]personal liberties[blank_end] that were not already included in the Constitution. Federalists had argued that a strong national government would not [blank_start]infringe[blank_end] upon these liberties because it was understood that these were [blank_start]natural rights[blank_end]. However, before enough of the Anti-Federalist delegates would agree to the Constitution, they insisted that these liberties be included. James Madison promised those delegates that these rights would be [blank_start]added[blank_end] as amendments to the Constitution. These became known as the [blank_start]Bill of Rights[blank_end], which was added in 1791. In ten separate [blank_start]amendments[blank_end], the Bill of Rights [blank_start]protected[blank_end] individual and states’ rights (SSUSH5c, d, e)

The Great Compromise One great issue facing the [blank_start]delegates[blank_end] to the Constitutional Convention was how [blank_start]different-sized[blank_end] states could have [blank_start]equal[blank_end] representation in the new government . States with [blank_start]large[blank_end] populations supported a plan to create a [blank_start]legislative[blank_end] branch in which representatives were assigned based on each state’s [blank_start]population[blank_end]. States with [blank_start]smaller[blank_end] populations supported a plan to create a legislative branch in which all states were [blank_start]equally[blank_end] represented. Delegates to the Constitutional Convention settled the issues of [blank_start]representation[blank_end] in Congress by approving the Great Compromise. This compromise helped “save” the Constitution by [blank_start]settling[blank_end] the [blank_start]dispute[blank_end] between states with large [blank_start]populations[blank_end] and states with [blank_start]small[blank_end] populations. The compromise called for the creation of a legislature with two [blank_start]chambers[blank_end]: a House of Representatives, with representation based on population, and a Senate, with equal representation for all states (SSUSH5c)

Northwest Ordinance The [blank_start]first[blank_end] U S governmental territory [blank_start]outside[blank_end] the [blank_start]original[blank_end] states was the Northwest Territory, which was created by the Northwest Ordinance. This [blank_start]law[blank_end] demonstrated to Americans that their national government intended to [blank_start]encourage[blank_end] [blank_start]westward[blank_end] [blank_start]expansion[blank_end] and that it would do so by organizing [blank_start]new[blank_end] states that would be [blank_start]equal[blank_end] members of the [blank_start]Union[blank_end]. The ordinance [blank_start]banned[blank_end] slavery in the Northwest Territory Additionally, the Northwest Ordinance [blank_start]mandated[blank_end] the [blank_start]establishment[blank_end] of public [blank_start]schools[blank_end] in the Northwest Territory (SSUSH5a)
