bubblebemah · Answer

The Land Ordinance of 1785 did not directly affect slavery but set the framework for future legislation. The Northwest Ordinance of 1787 later prohibited slavery in the Northwest Territory, reflecting changing attitudes towards the institution in new American lands. Together, these ordinances illustrate the early government's approach to balancing land development with the contentious issue of slavery.
