Inaccuracies

@Giggette:

• en:West Virginia did not separate from Virginia until 1863.
• The boundaries of Michigan and Maine with the UK (now Canada) are not the same as the modern boundaries, and were in dispute.
• The en:Lousiana Purchase lands belonged to the United States by this time, but are shown as belonging to the English. These lands should not be marked as "unorganized" but were organized as the en:Missouri Territory and en:Arkansaw Territory, depending on when in 1819 this map is showing.
• en:Louisiana was a state, not a territory, by this time.
• en:Oregon Country was shared between the U.S. and the UK, and did not end at the 49th parallel until 1846.
• The boundary of en:Upper Canada is incorrectly shown as encompassing all of modern Canada.
• The English were only one part of the en:United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, and it's the UK that owned the colonies shown, not England. (So "English Treaty Line" is arguably incorrect.)
• Florida is shown incorrectly; en:East Florida and en:West Florida were not combined until 1822, and West Florida contained the current coasts of Alabama and Mississippi.
• The en:Adams–Onís Treaty did not take effect until 1821, so either this map needs to be renamed and re-captioned to say 1821, or the border changes between the Missouri Territory and New Spain that this treaty made need to be taken off the map. (Which would also put Florida back in the control of Spain.)
