If you find a great site that covers American history in general or some specific person, place or event in our nation's wonderful story, send me the page title, web address, and a brief description. I'll pay you UP TO 3 class bucks for your effort! I will also pay a buck if you find and report a broken link.
Here is a link to the McGraw-Hill Online virtual textbook log-in site.
Why study history? That is a very good question, to which there is an excellent answer. If you are a parent who wants to know the answer to why "Mr. Stobbs makes us do so much homework!" or a student who wants to know "Why do I have to know this stuff?" this link will help you understand.
AmericanHeritage.com is an amazing site. I can't say enough about this link, except that once you visit it, you'll be back.
American History at About.com. A very useful and easy to navigate site.
American History Homework Center. A great "master link" to every period of American History. Great for research.
American History 102 by Stanley K. Schultz, Professor of History at the University of Wisconsin at MAdison and William P. Tishler, Producer. This is, literally, a free college education. There are lectures you can listen too, lots of notes, resource links... if you are serious about learning history, check it out!
Digital History is a great link sponsored by the University of Texas at Houston (The eyes of texas are upon you!). I love the primary sources and photographs, as well as the interactive historical timelines.
Great American History is a site recommended by A. Hayman, for which he has received three CB. Nice site!
The Franklin Institute is dedicated to science, but has a plethora (look it up!) of excellent links to historical information.
HistoryNet.com contains daily features, photo galleries and over 5,000 articles originally published in the owners' various magazines. There is something from almost every period of history at this site.
The "Progressive Era Glossary" page at George Washington University's Eleanor Roosevelt Papers Project has a very nice extended definition of the progressive era, and links to other excellent sites on the history of the progressive movement. Recommended by E. Pursell.
Another site where you can find a lot of information, including films, on the Progressive Era is the PBS American Experience. This site was recommended by B. Dundore. You can search here for information on any key event in the American story.
