Animated Atlas

Watch a free 10 minute animated interactive movie of the geographic history of the United States at Animated Atlas. While this is intended to demo a paid product, it is a terrific resource in and of itself. They have a really fast 50 second version on Youtube. It is interesting to give you an idea of the product though it lacks the value of the 10 minute presentation as a standalone. I think the Youtube includes the population layer built into the paid version which is why I am including it. There is also a demo of the CD-ROM version - I might have to put this on my list of resources I want to purchase! I can never have too many visual tools for my youngest child.
