Sebastian.<br>
I followed your instructions and changed the Project projection
to NAD27/Conus Albers which gave me the desired results as it
relates to the shape of the USA.<br>
<br>
Thanks for your help with this.<br>

<div><font face="Georgia">QGIS operates on two levels: The data
level and the visualization level. If you added your US
outline to QGIS it will automatically show it to you in the
projection the data is in. If all you need is to create an
output that looks like it is in a different projection you
can change the projection of the project. This is done in
Project>Project Properties>CRS. Or look in the bottom
right hand corner for the image that looks like a world with
a hat and click to bring up the projection dialog. If you
need the actual data to be in a different projection right
click on the layer and select Export>Save Features As and
in the dialog select the desired reference system (CRS). <br>

The reason for this is to get a USA states outline map
