The Northwest Ordinance of 1787 did several important things, including:
A. **Opened the Northwest Territory for settlement** - The ordinance established a structured process for settling the Northwestern territories and eventually incorporating them as states.
B. **Stopped slavery from expanding into any newly acquired territories that would become states** - It included provisions that prohibited slavery in the Northwest Territory, which was a significant step toward limiting the expansion of slavery in the United States.
C. **Placed a name for each part of the Northwest Territory for when they applied for statehood** - The ordinance also established a framework for governing the territory and outlined how new states could be admitted to the Union.
Thus, all three options (A, B, and C) are related to the impact of the Northwest Ordinance, but the specific key point is that B addresses the prohibition of slavery, which was a crucial aspect of the ordinance's legacy.
