Probably the best capsule of the history of our country ever put together. It's fascinating to watch the evolution of growth from the 13 colonies up to the present, with dates, wars, purchases, etc. included. American history per this short video clip.
This moving map of the country, shows it from the beginning of the 13 states through the present. It includes the acquisitions from England and Spain , the Slave states, the Free states, a segment on the Civil war, it includes some mentions of Central and South America, etc.
It also shows the Indian Nations as they were during the Indian Wars: Modac, Miwok, Mujave, Nez Perce, Flat Head, Crow, Cheyenne , Arapaho, Navajo, Apache, Dakota, Sioux, Kiowa, Wichita and Comanche.
Click on any state for information. Other features too, if you move around the map
A great site, especially if you enjoy American history, but have forgotten a lot of what we learned in school. Turn on your sound, as the narration is a significant portion of the presentation.
When it opens, don't click on Go at the bottom .... click on Play at the top.
