Description

Scarce map of the United States, drawn in the style of John Rapkin, illustrating the status of Slavery at the outset of the American Civil War.

The map is colored to illustrate the following regions:

  • Uncolored: Federal, Non-Slaveholding States
  • Blue: Border Slaveholding States
  • Yelllow: Confederate Slaveholding States
  • Green: Indian Reservations

Washington Territory is depicted in the short-lived inverted 'L' configuration, extending east to the Continental Divide and south to the Utah Territory. The proposed Territory of Arizona (Baylor Line) is shown in the southern part of New Mexico Territory.

A huge Dakota Territory extends from Minnesota to Washington. Surrounded by a decorative vine and flower border.
