This work, his last, is the little known story of the pioneers who carried the aspirations of a new nation to what became Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan and Wisconsin. The Northwest Ordinance required conditions for the admission of states including freedom of religion, free universal education, individual rights and the prohibition of slavery.
