What does a visual representation allow creator Claudio Saunt to demonstrate differently than a reading or list of treaties?

In a 3-4 page paper, double spaced and written in 12 point font, you will analyze one of two digital humanities projects we have encountered in class to assess what you have learned from the project, how it relates to our class including other sources and context, and addressing a specific question related to the project. https://www.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=eb6ca76e008543a89349ff2517db47e6

Criteria for Success: The paper is 3-4 pages long, double spaced, in a 12-point font. You have turned in the paper on time via Canvas. You clearly introduce the digital source including its title, creators, and basic information about the project. You address fully the specific questions for your chosen source. Each digital resource has 2 specific questions you should answer. You compare the digital resource to other items from class, such as the textbook, primary sources, or class discussion.

For those who choose to analyze Invasion of America, you will answer the following question in your paper: “What can you learn from this project (Links to an external site.)? What does a visual representation allow creator Claudio Saunt to demonstrate differently than a reading or list of treaties? Be sure to compare this source to our readings from the textbook and primary sources about the encounters between North Americans and European explorers and American citizens and government.” You should think about our primary source analysis #4 and build off that answer to explain how it compares to our textbook and class discussion and what the visual allows. Do not simply repeat what you put in the primary source analysis answer. Start your answer by explaining what the project is, its creator, and how users interact with it.
