The Newburgh Conspiracy - answers-was a plan by Continental Army officers to challenge the
authority of the Confederation Congress, arising from their frustration with Congress's long-
standing inability to meet its financial obligations to the military. By early 1783, widespread

state and local enforcement of tax collections and judgments for debt.
The Northwest Ordinance of 1787 - answers-passed July 13, 1787. The ordinance created the
Northwest Territory, the first organized territory of the United States, from lands beyond the
Appalachian Mountains, between British Canada and the Great Lakes to the north and the Ohio
River to the south. The upper Mississippi River formed the Territory's western boundary.
Treaty of Fort Stanwix - answers-was a treaty between North American Indians and Great
Britain, signed in 1768 at Fort Stanwix, in present-day Rome, New York. It was negotiated
between Sir William Johnson, his deputy George Croghan, and representatives of the Six
Nations (the Iroquois).
Republican Motherhood - answers-a 20th-century attitude toward women's roles present in the
emerging United States before, during, and after the American Revolution
Articles of Confederation - answers-the original constitution of the US, ratified in 1781, which
was replaced by the US Constitution in 1789 which failed because they did not give Congress
and the national government enough power. The new United States just fought a war.
