Seeing
How History Changes
Most links place historical facts in a table so you can easily compare them. You are not memorizing all of the facts placed in these tables. Instead, you are using those facts to notice changes and patterns. To help you, most links provide tips on what to notice. These things are placed together because it is very difficult for students to notice change over time.
Things to notice in general: The new sections: ·
The North = the North East (mainly New England) + the
rise of the Northwest (west of the Appalachians) ·
The South = The Southeast (sometimes called the upper South) + the
rise of the Southwest (sometimes called the deep South) The general changes: -
How are new technologies for transportation changing geographic
