Map to find #4 and #5

This is a great map of some really neat shape tweens. However the speed of the tweens going along is wayyyyyy slow for me. If it were to add a speed adjustment button it would be very helpful. I know the guy is talking but lets get on with it!

I think this is a great interactive timeline. It is especially helpful because most people do not know much about the US-Mexican War. You can go from a very broad period of time (before, during, after the war) and get very specific (year, month, day). In addition the buttons on each event take you to more information. One of the best interactive maps I have come across.
