Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The Northwest Ordinance chartered a government for the Northwest Territory, provided a method for admitting new states to the Union from the territory, and listed a bill of rights guaranteed in the territory.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Northwest Ordinance did not cause the Civil War.
