Introduce or review the high points in America's history from westward expansion to the post Civil War era with this 10-minute animated movie and interactive atlas, complete with narration. Roll your mouse over each state to reveal its name, or click to reveal historical information. An interactive timeline at the bottom of the map allows students to scroll to a particular year and play the movie from that point forward. This video resides on YouTube. If your district blocks YouTube it may not be viewable.

In the Classroom

Don't forget some headsets! Share this site on an interactive whiteboard or projector. Have groups investigate various historical aspects of specific states (and their history). Why not learn more about their home state?
