Links, links, links...
Below you will find a collection of websites that do one
of a few things: (a) broaden your understanding of a very specific class
assignment, (b) offer a useful second or third look at an event or epoch
of American history, (c) help you study American history, or (d) hope to
create further interest in a topic or assignment. Some of the
links go to my own, homemade pages and others go to more
professional-looking pages. Let me know if any of these helpful and
don't forget to see the note at the very bottom.
