A propos de cet article

Very good. Backed on linen. Attached to rollers. Add two inches to both height and width for dimensions with rollers. Size 38.75 x 33 Inches. This is an 1855 J. H. Colton wall map of Maine detailing college grants. A Closer Look Coverage embraces Maine and the surrounding region from Canada and New Hampshire to New Brunswick and from Aroostook County, Maine to the Atlantic Ocean. Maine is divided first into counties (which are all labeled) and then into townships. Each township is either named or numbered, with the majority of the unnamed townships lying in the northern parts of Franklin, Somerset, Piscataquis, Penobscot, and Aroostook Counties. At this point in Maine's history, some townships were only known by their numerical identifiers of Range and Township. Maine College Grants Some townships, particularly in Aroostook County, are labeled as 'grants', such as 'Grant to Portland Academy', or 'Grant to Belfast Academy'. These grants are closely associated with the development of educational institutions in colonial America. By 1647, a law was passed in Massachusetts stating that towns of one hundred families must have a grammar school. Eventually, the citizenry felt the need for higher education, so academies were established. By 1796, eleven academies had been established, and seven of them were in Maine. As a method of supporting the academies, land grants were made, most often in Maine. Whole and sometimes half townships were given to the academies, the sale and use of which would go to support them. Some institutions still retain some of their grants, and others have been sold on. Historical Context In the 1850s, Maine was deeply influenced by maritime industries, with shipbuilding, fishing, and trade central to its economy - creating an underpinning of exceptional wealth, especially along the coast. The state was also known for lumber and ice, both of which were shipped throughout the U.S. Politically, Maine was notable for its progressive stance on temperance; in 1851, it became the first state in the nation to enact a prohibition law, leading to what was known as the 'Maine Law.' This decade also saw increasing tensions over issues of slavery, and while Maine was far from the battlegrounds of the American Civil War (1861 - 1865), its citizens were active in the abolitionist movement, and the state contributed significant troops to the Union cause. The social and economic developments of this period set the stage for Maine’s evolving identity and its role in the years leading up to the Civil War. Publication History and Census This map was produced by J. H. Colton and published in 1855.…
