Description
Portrait
of
Arthur
St
.
Clair
(1736[?]-1818)
.
St
.
Clair
served
as
governor
of the
Northwest
Territory
from
1788
to
1802
. As
Ohio
moved
towards
statehood
,
St
.
Clair
actively
opposed
Ohio's
admittance
to the
United
States
. He
hoped
that what
is
now
Ohio
would not
become
a
single
state
but
rather
two
states
.
Thomas
Worthington
,
Nathaniel
Massie
,
Michael
Baldwin
, and
several
others
urged
President
Thomas
Jefferson
, the
founder
of the
Democratic-Republican
Party
, to
make
Ohio
a
state
.
Jefferson
and the
Democratic-Republican-controlled
United
States
Congress
responded
by
issuing
the
Enabling
Act
of
1802
. This
act
called
on the
people
of
Ohio
to
form
a
constitutional
convention
and to
fulfill
the
other
requirements
of the
Northwest
Ordinance
to
become
a
state
.
St
.
Clair
denounced
the
Enabling
Act
.
Jefferson
responded
by
removing
St
.
Clair
as
governor
.
Ohio
became
the
seventeenth
state
of the
United
States
on
February
19
,
1803
