Edward Rutledge was the <em>youngest of the signers of the </em><em>Declaration of Independence</em>. He was reluctant to support the independence, at first, and prefered a reconciliation. In his understanding, it was not the right time. He thought that slaves with guns could bring bad results. Concerning votes for the independence, he<em> didn't want to vote</em>, but, since the resolution would continue, he asked for the <em>vote to be recast.</em>

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."
