The Northwest Ordinance of 1787 appeared to outlaw slavery, which meant that slavery was not allowed in the Northwest Territory. However, the passage of the Fugitive Slave Laws meant that slaves who escaped from one state to another one would have to be returned to their owners, even if found in a free state. Therefore, escaped enslaved people in the Northwest Territory were not necessarily considered to be free.

Many former confederates resented the new state constitutions imposed by radical republicans because their provisions allowed for black voting and civil rights.

Overview. A civil right is an enforceable right or privilege that gives rise to a claim of infringement if interfered with by a third party. Discrimination occurs when an individual's civil rights are denied or compromised because he or she belongs to a particular group or class.
