The correct answer is B. Establish requirements for admitting new states to the Union
Explanation:
The purpose of the Northwest Ordinance of 1787 was to officially define and integrate territories that belonged to a region known as Northwest. This was required because the Northwest territories previously belonged to England and due to this, the Congress of Confederation (government of the time) did not have complete control over the territory.
Through this ordinance, the government ratified its power over the territory, guaranteed rights, and established requirements to admit states to the Union. This last accomplishment included the number of states that will be formed in the territory and the fact these will be free states (slavery was not allowed). According to this, the one that was an accomplishment was "Establish requirements for admitting new states to the Union."
The item in the list which was <u>NOT</u> a justification for increased US involvement in Vietnam:
<h2>To keep North Vietnam aligned with the United States.</h2>
Explanation:
North Vietnam never was aligned with the United States. The US was aligned with and fought on behalf of South Vietnam. North Vietnam was controlled by a communist government and was seeking to unify Vietnam under communist control.
US foreign policy in those years was one focused on fighting communism. Domino theory was a major idea in US thinking at the time. Domino theory proposed that the spread of communism in Vietnam would result in other countries in the region falling like dominoes to the influence of communism.
The event that sparked a major increase of US involvement in Vietnam was the allegation of attacks on US naval ships in neutral waters in the Gulf of Tonkin. The Gulf of Tonkin Resolution was a measure passed by US Congress that allowed the US President to make military actions, like increase troops, without formal declaration of war. The resolution was passed by Congress in August, 1964, after alleged attacks on two US naval ships in the Gulf of Tonkin. The key wording in the resolution said:
- <em>Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, that the Congress approves and supports the determination of the President, as Commander in Chief, to take all necessary measures to repel any armed attack against the forces of the United States and to prevent further aggression.</em>
That resolution served as a blank check for President Lyndon Johnson to send troops to whatever extent he deemed necessary in pursuance of the war. Between 1964 and the end of Johnson's presidency in 1969, US troop levels in Vietnam increased from around 20,000 to over 500,000.
