Rivers and Lakes
Description
An account of the resource
The mapmakers place an outsize emphasis on rivers in their map design. Rivers are represented with solid black lines. The inclusion of even minor rivers means that a network of rivers seems to cover the map. In cases where state boundaries and rivers overlap, rivers dominate. Indeed, state boundaries are visually secondary to rivers, whose solid black ink superimposes over the dotted state boundaries. The emphasis on this natural features seems relevant to me because of the fact that a central tenet of this map’s argument is that freedom and slavery are fighting for control of the land. The importance given to rivers signifies for me the importance of natural features in the battle between slavery and freedom. When one steps back, there are very few features that stand out on the map other than those that are natural (especially in the form of rivers) and that which is political (especially in the form of state and territory names). This hierarchy speaks to the conflict at the center of the map’s political purpose. In sum, rivers are given a prominent place in the map design not because of any practical meaning to be drawn from the rivers, but rather to add symbolic meaning to how slavery and freedom fight for the land.

Configure your timeline
Description
An account of the resource
<div>Open your exhibit in editing mode.</div>
<ol>
<li>Click on the <strong>Plugins</strong> dropdown at the top of the editing panel and select the "SIMILE Timeline" option.</li>
<li>Enter a date into the "Default Date" field. This is the date that the timeline will automatically focus on when the exhibit starts. It is usually best to set the default date a little earlier than your first record.</li>
<li>Have a look at the "Interval Unit" dropdown and choose the interval that works for you. (You can always change these settings later.)</li>
<li>Drag the "Interval Pixels" input down to around 50. (This determines the width between the tick marks representing time units selected in the last step.)</li>
<li>Finally, set the "Tape Height". I often use 25. This sets the vertical height of the “span” graphics used to represent duration events on the timeline.</li>
<li>Click <strong>Save</strong> at the bottom.</li>
</ol>

<ol>
<li>Click on the Records tab and open the record you'd like to connect to the timeline. </li>
<li>Click on the <strong>Styles</strong> tab, and click in the <strong>Widgets</strong> box. Select SIMILE Timeline.</li>
<li>Scroll down to the <strong>Dates</strong> field set.</li>
<li>Enter s <strong>Start Date</strong>. Use the format yyyy-mm-dd (for example, 2016-10-21).</li>
<li>Enter an <strong>End Date </strong>(if appropriate).</li>
<li>Click <strong>Save</strong> at the bottom of the form. The map should appear as a span on the timeline.</li>
<li>Next, let’s configure the record so that it’s only visible on the map between those two dates (right now it is always “on”). Go down to the <strong>Dates</strong> field set and enter “1854-01-01” in the <strong>After Date</strong> input and “1905-01-01” in the <strong>Before Date</strong> field. Now, the map will only be visible when the “center” line on the timeline falls between those dates.</li>
