    "This map, made with data from the 1870 census, shows rates of wealth per capita in the settled United States. The scale stretches from white-"under $175 per capita"-to dark orange-"$1300 and over." (In today's terms, that range of per capita net worth would be $3,125 to $23,214.29.)" Possible uses when teaching Reconstruction

    Wow. Just wow. A lot of potential application here for a variety of topics. - My World History teachers are about to do a Socratic seminar on Rome. The topic is "Haves vs. Have Nots." This map fits perfectly into this discussion. - Use as a tool to discuss reasons for immigration/emigration - Locate the most/least poor areas of the US? Why do you believe this is the case? -Does geography impact poverty? How/Why? - Compare this map to other poverty maps from the past, specifically during the period of industrialization. Discuss how/why things have changed.
