Acquired Territory

Acquired Territory: the poster

A lesson in four words: surrender, dedication, occupation and enjoyment, each drawn, who acts, which way the land moves, what proves it and what undoes it, with the class’s surrenders counted at zero and its dedications at none; occupation looking back and enjoyment looking forward on one line of time; the two roads each word puts you on, one ending in compensation and the other in the land kept; and the ground in section, titles above and the Tract beneath. The web edition unrolls the deed over the Nation’s own map and teaches each word at a tap.
