To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Thus the Congress of the Confedera- tion formed the earliest system of gov- ernment for the Territories ; Virginia ratified and confirmed it ; and the first Congress under the Constitution, by the act of August 7, 1789, in order that it might continue to have full effect, adapt- ed it to the Constitution. Where was squatter sovereignty then ? Did the founders of the Government say, " We will leave it to the people of the Terri- tory to decide whether they will have slavery or not?" Did they say... that " When the State comes in with her Constitution, we will leave it to the peo- ple to adopt a restriction on slavery in the Constitution or not?" Certainly not. It was one of the provisions by which they could come into the Union, and to which they were confined, that they should restrict slavery and keep it out of their Territory by the Constitu- tion of the State. The framers of the ordinance said it shall "not be extend- ed into this Territory. " I need scarce- ly refer to the action of Congress after- wards, in 1803, in regard to the Terri- tory of Indiana, when the people of Indi- ana petitioned for the right to hold slaves.
