Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Old Northwest: The Beginnings of Our Colonial System The Old Northwest is the designation by which the region of country bounded by the Great Northern Lakes and the Mississippi and Ohio Rivers has come to be known. It embraces the States of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, and the eastern side of Minnesota - a little more than a quarter million square miles of territory. The name has gained greater currency since the New Northwest, lying beyond the Mississippi River, has come into such great prominence. Save New England alone, there is no division of the United States embracing several States that is so distinct an historical unit, and that so readily yields to historical treatment. It was ¿rst discovered and colonized by the French. It was the occasion of the ¿nal struggle for dominion between France and England in North America. It was the theatre of one of the most brilliant military exploits of the Revolution. The disposition to be made of it at the close of the Revolution was one of the most difficult questions settled at Paris in 1783. After the war, the Old Northwest assumed a constantly increasing prominence in the National history. It was the original public domain, and the ¿rst and the most important Territory ever organized by Congress.
