Mrs. Hood's 5th Grade USA in 1861 Paint Projects

Our class loves to paint on the computer. And what is the best way to learn? By doing what one loves! We have, therefore, added an outlined map of the USA as it appeared in the 1860's.

Please feel free to print out or save this map to your computer for use by yourself or the students. Also, we have linked some of the ways we used this map in class. Check back often, as we hope we will be getting e-mail from other schools on new ideas and methods of integrating this map or one like it into the curriculum.

• The North, South, and Border States

• The Eastern Campaign
