Abstract
One hundred and fifty years ago the inhabited part of the United States consisted principally of the area east of the Allegheny Mountain AND between the St. Lawrence River and the Spanish Province of Florida. The first census (1790) of the new Republic showed a population slightly more than 4 000 000. Westward migration began during the Revolution und bus continued with the extension of boundaries.

Towns sprang up around border trading posts and forts, such as Pittsburgh, Cineinnati, Detroit, St. Louis, and Chicago.
