The Racial Dot Map: One Dot Per Person
The Racial Dot Map: One Dot Per Person
A great resource for teachers teaching Reconstruction, "white flight" or the Civil Rights movement because it shows the persistence of segregation down to the individual person. Is this de facto or de jure? Is the north more segregated than the south? Why? How does this map play into the different perspectives of Martin Luther King and Malcolm X? Does this explain why Montgomery saw a boycott and Watts saw riots?

Mapping Occupation - Force Freedom and the Army in Reconstruction
Mapping Occupation - Force Freedom and the Army in Reconstruction
Students learning about Reconstruction will confront the reality that from the start of the Civil War and through the 1870s, the U.S. Army remained the key institution that newly freed people in the South could access as they tried to defend their rights. This site allows viewers to explore the practical details of when and where the Union Army was, specifically, and in what numbers. Capitalizing on the digitization of a massive data collection from the National Archives and other repositories presents this history and geography in two ways: as a spatial narrative, guiding the user through key stages in the spatial history of the army in Reconstruction; and as an exploratory map. Students can be free to build their own narratives out of the data curated here.
