Tips
for completing the map:
Students should work from the finished map shown on the Internet support site or from our overhead transparency map collection. Emphasize neatness from the beginning! This map shows the major pieces of land that made up the United States in 1860. Remind students to shade very lightly, or the labels will be hard to read. Also remind them to leave a window in each area as they color, so the the date for each area can show through clearly. The dates are listed in the descriptive paragraphs on the facing page.
