Many eastern leaders viewed the Northwest Territory as a colonial possession, while freedom-loving settlers demanded local self- government. These essays address the ambiguities of the Ordinance, balance of power politics in North America, missionary activity in the territory, slavery, and higher education in the Old Northwest.</P></DIV> Northwest, OldHistory1775-1865977/.02Williams Frederick D1526879MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910781445303321The Northwest Ordinance3769264UNINA
