TITLE/CONTENT OF MAP: 'Carte de l'adjonction progressive des divers états au territoire et à l'union constitutionelle des États-Unis de l'Amérique du Nord 1825'
This fascinating map shows the territorial development of the United States up to 1825. The map states in French that at this time, the United States consisted of "24 states, one District (that of Columbia) and 6 territories (Michigan, Missouri, North-west, Oregon, Florida and Arkansas)". The map further states that "Florida will probably form a state within one year" - in fact it did not achieve statehood until 1845. The states coloured pink along the Atlantic Seaboard are the 13 original states, plus Vermont - later established on land originally claimed by both New York and New Hampshire. The area coloured yellow are the territories gained through the Louisiana Purchase of 1803. Florida territory - captured from Spain in 1821 - is coloured brown. The areas coloured green are the other then states and territories added between 1790 and 1825.
