Mapping the Rebellions
In This Section:
This section presents separate maps for each of the five texts of this exhibit. Each map pinpoints the location of the different reports of rebellion and resistance found within the "Miscellaneous" sections of these newspapers.
In these maps, the fragmented nature of the section is revealed. Each section is comprised of accounts from multiple cities, counties, and states. This visualization also reveals how widespread not only these cases of open rebellion were, but also displays the distance that these accounts traveled in order to be published.

Scroll through to see where the events reported on in these sections of the newspapers occurred, and where the accounts were later published.
