Answer:

It outlawed slavery in the new territories

Step-by-step explanation:

The Northwest Ordinance banned slavery in the territory, even though the Constitution temporarily protected the slave trade. The impact of The Northwest Ordinance on slavery was that it banned slavery making the Ohio River the boundary between free and slave and free regions.
