Greetings,
Sebastian.
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.
Thanks for your help with this.

Mike,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).
Here is handout I created going over this in more detail https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-FJtKGP1b2xDgswvZ3sUmAqff9S1zQS6/view?usp=sharing
Good luck.

I wish to change the projection of a shape from from EPSG:4269 - NAD83 - Geographic to
Albers Equal-Area Conic projection.
The reason for this is to get a USA states outline map which is shorter and higher in outline than the current projection for use as a graphic in a brochure.
Thanks,
