While doing some research for a presentation on Blackface Minstrelsy for my “Boundary Crossings” course, I came across this really cool animated map video about the history of the United States’ formation. It shows when and a bit of why the nation grew and took on different states. I found it incredibly entertaining and informational (it’s only ten minutes long!). The photo below is a screen shot from the video.
