Top Text Title: Top Text: A Cartographer is a map maker. A map maker will make his/her maps by hand and not using pre-made maps on a computer. A map maker can use technology to make the maps, but they are not allowed to copy someone else's work. As the cartographer for your magazine, you will need to provide your group with information that shows the growth of our nation at various times. You will need to create maps of the U.S. at various point in time leading up to the start of the Civil War in 1861. In 1861, the United States was divided into two separate nations, the U.S. and the Confederate States of America. It is your job to report the updates and changes to our nation along the way via the growth using maps. Here is a complete list of what you need to put together for your part of the group magazine. 1. You will need 5 different Maps *Map of the United States in 1800 *Map of the United States in 1820 *Map of the United States in 1850 *Map of the United States in 1860 *Map of the United States in 1861 at the Start of the Civil War 2. Along with your maps, you will need to have a written explanation for some events. A short article in the magazine to go along with the maps listed below: *Map of United States in 1820: You will need the number of Free States vs. Slave States and explain how the Missouri Compromise established a rule for admitting free states and slave states. *Map of the United States in 1850: You will need the number of Free States vs. Slave States and explain how the Compromise of 1850 set up a rule for admitting slave states and free states to the United States. *Map of the United States in 1861: You need to identify which states were with the United States at the start of the war, which states were part of the Confederacy at the start of the war, and which states were neutral at the start of the war. 3. Your maps must be in color and they must also have a map key to explain the various colors that you have used. 4. All maps must be made by hand (that is why they are called map makers).
