INSTRUCTOR'S NOTES and/or ADDITIONS TO TEXT READING

 From the Instructor's Manual:

"It helps to emphasize to them that, as boundaries change, what was once ethnonationalism (intrastate) can become irredentism (interstate), and vice versa. They need to apply these terms to the boundaries that were in place at that time."

"The reason U.S. states are called states and not provinces is because the original thirteen colonies had the potential to all become “states” in the true sense of the word, but instead they “united” to form a country, and the name stuck instead of switching to the more geographically correct term of “provinces.” This explanation is NOT in the book."
