A color-coded map to show the territorial acquisitions of the United States over time. The original thirteen colonies are numbered and colored in pink, the region to its west which was acquired after the French & Indian War (1763) is highlighted in green, Florida is colored orange (1819) and the vast Louisiana Purchase (1803) and Oregon Territory are shaded in yellow.
