George Rogers Clark is known as the "Conqueror of the Old Northwest" because he led the successful military campaign that claimed the Northwest Territory for America from the British. This territory was bounded by the Great Lakes to the north and east, the Ohio River to the south, and the Mississippi River to the west.
The Northwest Ordinances were the framework for the settlement and government of the Northwest Territory.
