The 1842 Slave Revolt in the Cherokee Nation, then located in Indian Territory (Oklahoma) west of the Mississippi River, was the largest escape of a group of slaves to occur among the Cherokee. The slave revolt started on November 15, 1842, when a group of 20 African-American slaves owned by the Cherokee escaped and tried to reach Mexico, where slavery had been abolished in 1836. Along their way south, they were joined by 15 slaves escaping from the Creek in Indian Territory.

Which of the following is a true statement about the Northwest Ordinance? A. It prohibited slavery in the Northwest Territory. B

mel-nik [20]

The correct answer is A. It prohibited slavery in the Northwest Territory.

Explanation:

The Northwest Ordinance was approved in 1787 to establish the Northwest territory and laws that applied to it. This covered states such as Ohio, Wisconsin, Illinois, and Indiana. Additionally, the Ordinance established the borders of this territory or states that were part of it, ratified the sovereignty, and established a local government.

Also, the ordinance ratified natural rights for all those in the territory, and therefore prohibited slavery and any similar practices. Due to this, after the ordinance, many slaves from the South scaped to this territory to gain their freedom, which contributed to the issue of slavery and related conflicts. Thus, the statement that is true about this ordinance is "It prohibited slavery in the Northwest Territory."
