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. As much as you may know about American history, I guarantee you'll
learn something from 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.
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.
