The presentations support visual learning by incorporating maps, primary source documents, and historical imagery that help students understand the political, economic, and social factors that drove American expansion beyond continental borders. Through systematic concept explanation, these resources develop students' analytical skills as they examine the consequences of imperialism on both the United States and affected territories.
