The above posts indicate many important positive aspects of the Articles government. One that has not been noted thus far (unless I failed to see it) is that the Northwest Ordinances prohibited slavery in any of the territories which comprised the Northwest. This was the first serious attempt to limit slavery and inherently limited it to the South. This was the first step in a very long process which would bring slavery to an end.
