Question

Which five states were added to the United States as a result of the Northwest Ordinance of 1787? A) Florida, New York, South Virginia, Rhode Island, Oregon B) Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, Ohio C) New Hampshire, Connecticut, Delaware, North Carolina, Arkansas D) Georgia, Tennessee, Kentucky, South Carolina, Mississippi

Answer 1

The first state created from the Northwest Territory was Ohio, in 1803, at which time the remainder was renamed Indiana Territory. The other four states were Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, and Wisconsin. A portion (about a third) of what later became the state of Minnesota was also part of the territory. So your answer would be letter B.
