The Old Northwest

Explanation:

The annexation of the territory would serve as part of the agreement that ended the American Revolution of 1776. The territory was officially created in the American Congress on July 13, 1787. It originally covered the current states of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, and Wisconsin, as well as eastern Minnesota. The region had more than 260 thousand square kilometers. One of the most preeminent features of these territories was their immense population of natives, which lead to the Indian War between the native populations and the Government of the Union.
