When the states were given control that didn't turn out so well , so the northwest ordinance was made.  It was a new way for states to be established and run.  For a new state to be founded , it would have to start with 5,000 free males in the area, from then on they made a small constitution so then when the population reached 60,000 that area of land could be made a new state.  When these states would be made they would have the same rule/power ect.... As the original 13 colonies.  The way the government was able to pay off their war debt was because they owed all the land now they could sell it off to proprietors.  Though slavery was banned in the all the states, native americans were treated horribly and their rights were ignored
