homework due Wednesday 5/24

On the outline map given out in class (which you can find here), write 3-5 ideas for images that you might include to represent the economic or social features of each region:  North, South and the Old Northwest.* (See below for definitions of each region).   Focus on what America was like in the 1840's and 1850's.   You do not need to actually find or create the images, but you do need to be able to thoughtfully list ideas of what you *might* include later.

You can use the following sections of the textbook to help you with ideas:
chapter 7 section 2:  "Early Industry"
chapter 7 section 3:  "The Land of Cotton"
chapter 8 section 2: "A Changing Culture"
chapter 8 section 3:  "Reforming Society"
chapter 8 section 4:  "The Abolitionist Movement"

*Definitions of each region:
The North was made up of the current day states on the east coast between Maine and Pennsylvania.

The South are the states on the east coast between Maryland and Florida, as well as the states of the Deep South along the Gulf Coast (Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi), and the more inland states like Tennessee, Kentucky and Arkansas.

The "Old Northwest" is basically the current-day Midwest:  modern-day states of Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Wisconsin, Michigan.
