The principle effect of the Northwest Ordinance of 1787 was the integration of what is now called the Midwest United States (Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, and parts of Minnesota) into the United States as a whole.
Its primary benefit going forward was that it set the trend that a territory under US Federal jurisdiction could apply (when it had sufficient numbers of people) to be a state with equal powers as the original thirteen states. This was as opposed to the prevailing view that they should be "subordinate states" or "permanent colonies" and was a wise decision to prevent the development of the same Anti-Metropole sentiment that led to US independence from the UK.
The Northwest Ordinances, also called Ordinances of 1784, 1785, and 1787, were several ordinances enacted by the U.S. Congress for the purpose of establishing orderly and equitable procedures for the settlement and political incorporation of the Northwest Territory.
