Human
Geography
Human geography is one of the two major sub-fields of
the discipline of geography. Human geography is a
branch of the social sciences that studies the world, its
people, communities and cultures with an emphasis on
relations of and across space and place. Human
geography differs from physical geography mainly in
that it has a greater focus on studying human activities
and is more receptive to qualitative research
methodologies. As a discipline, human geography is
particularly diverse with respect to its methods &
theoretical approaches to study.
Requirements
for statehood
The most significant intended purpose of this legislation
was its mandate for the creation of new states from the
region, once a population of 60,000 had been achieved
within a particular territory. The actual legal mechanism of
the admission of new states was established in the Enabling
Act of 1802. The first state created from the Northwest
Territory was Ohio, in 1803, at which time the remainder
was renamed Indiana Territory. The other four states were
Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, and Wisconsin. A significant
portion (about 1/3) of Minnesota was also part of the
Further
South
territory.
Louisiana
The Territory of Louisiana or Louisiana
Territory was an organized incorporated
territory of the U. S. that existed from
July 4, 1805 until June 4, 1812, when it
was renamed to Missouri Territory. It
was formed out of part of the lands
acquired by the U. S. in the Louisiana
Purchase, in which French Louisiana was
bought from France.
Hawaii
The Admission Act, formally An Act to
Provide for the Admission of the State of
Hawaii into the Union is a statute enacted
by the U. S. Congress and signed into law
by President Eisenhower which dissolved
the Territory of Hawaii and established
the State of Hawaii as the 50th state to
be admitted to the Union. Statehood
became effective on August 21, 1959.
Hawaii remains the most recent state to
join the United States.

Northwest
Territory
The Territory Northwest of the River Ohio, more commonly known as
the Northwest Territory, was an organized incorporated territory of the
United States. It existed from July 13, 1787, until March 1, 1803, when the
southeastern portion of the territory was admitted to the Union as the state
of Ohio. Previously, it was part of the British Province of Quebec, and a
territory under British rule set aside in the Royal Proclamation of 1763 for
use by Native Americans, which was assigned to the United States in
the Treaty of Paris (1783). The Congress of the Confederation enacted
the Northwest Ordinance in 1787 to provide for the administration of the
territories and set rules for admission as a state. On August 7, 1789, the
new U.S. Congress affirmed the Ordinance with slight modifications under
the Constitution. The territory included all the land of the United States
west of Pennsylvania and northwest of the Ohio River. It covered all of the
modern states of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, and Wisconsin, as well
as the northeastern part of Minnesota. The area covered more than 260,000
square miles.
Mexican
Cession
The Mexican Cession of 1848 is a historical
name in the United States for the region of the
present day southwestern U.
S. that Mexico ceded to the U.S. in the Treaty of
Guadalupe Hidalgo in 1848, but had not been
part of the areas east of the Rio Grande which
had been claimed by the Republic, though the
Texas Annexation resolution two years earlier
had not specified Texas’s southern and western
boundary.
