Every decennial census results in states gaining or losing power in the US House of Representatives as their populations grow or shrink. This atlas provides a visual guide to the history of population shifts and reapportionment that have, throughout 200 years of US history, resulted in dramatic changes in the balance of congressional power among the states. An introductory chapter presents an historical overview of congressional apportionment. Separate chapters for each decade from 1790 through 1990 present snapshots of American demographics and state power. The 33 color maps and numerous tables illustrate the changes resulting from each census, while the accompanying text explains the changing demography from census to census, and the social and historical reasons for population shifts. 10x10" Annotation copyright Book News, Inc.
