Using maps in Ch. 18, label the following items on the map. States should be color coded as to whether they were Union or Confederate. Outline water in blue (except for the Atlantic Ocean). Put dot to show the location of each city in addition to writing its name. Label the battles with their name and a color code that indicates who won the battle. All labeling is printed neatly in black ink. As with all maps, you must have a key and follow RMS map rules.
