=Learning Activity= Our focus is on population changes - size, location, composition, distribution, and density. Choose a partner. Choose a decade. Each file linked below represents Census data collected for that year. Open and study your decade's Census data.
 * [|1790] || [|1800] || [|1810] || [|1820] ||
 * [|1830] || [|1840] || [|1850] || [|1860] ||
 * [|1870] || [|1880] || [|1890] || [|1900] ||
 * [|1910] || [|1920] || [|1930] || [|1940] ||

On a large sheet of paper, draw the information you found. Do you have any information about the composition, distribution, and density? Make a map of the U.S. that shows the U.S. described on your sheet. We'll compare this to other decades/maps tomorrow (that gives a hint about a due date).
