Hi i am a huge history enthusist and love thinking about the what if's of history. i have been pondering a scenario in my head and my gut tells me that i am right haha but then we all think our gut is right... but it is this... we all know and it is accepted fact that the vikings came to the new world, colonized, explored, and exploited North America some 500 years before colombus... but to what extent? vikings were known to travel massive distances in their ships, but we assume that once they got to the new world they stopped at newfoundland and didnt go any further... but i think thats crazy! i postulate, based on the reconstructed vinland map( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Vinland_Map_HiRes.jpg) that they made it as far south as the yucatan penninsula. if we say that the river going inland is the saint-lawrence river going to the great lakes... then florida is a small bump just before the gulf of mexico... albeit the map is unrealistic in my interpretation for size it works enough for me to continue my thoughts. but what fuels my fascination is the legends of the aztecs, of bearded white men coming to visit. where else would aztecs see bearded white men? it is too much of a coincidence for me to pass lightly. just because archeology has not the physical proof does not matter to me. archeology was not there to witness history therefore it cannot be definitive, postulation and assumption have been the sciences greatest assets, while old thoughts recorded in books that remain unchanged are its greatest enemy ( and a great asset as well ;) ) but old ideas die hard and are not easily changed. they limit our range of thought and hinder us from exploring the possibilities. look to how far the vikings sailed ( the meditteranian amoung other far flung destinations) and from greenland to mexico doesnt seem so absured. science to me just like any establishment, fears change, for change gets rid of the old established ideas ( and the people paid to uphold those old ideas) and brings in the new. now its all postulation based on circumstantial evidence, but where did the beared white men that the aztecs spoke of come from? is it really that crazy to consider? or are we too wrapped up in old ideas to still teach that columbus discover the new world? ( greenland was a vassle to the scandinavian kings, had maps of its location, colombus only had to ask the norse where america was!)

Some of the facts are wrong. Brooks said, before attacking Sumner, "I have read your speech twice over carefully. It is a libel against South Carolina and against Mr. Butler, who is a relative of mine." Also, Preston Brooks was not restrained. He conspired with a fellow Congressman, Laurence Keitt, to prevent interference. When other Senators moved to aid Sumner, Keitt produced a revolver and said "Leave them be!" Sumner, who had been seated at a desk that had been bolted to the floor when Brooks attacked, ripped the desk from the floor and staggered away, blinded by his own blood. Brooks pursued continuing to beat Sumner with the cane. Sumner collapsed unconscious but Brooks stopped only after his cane broke.

Dear mg from Missouri- Though the internment of Japanese-Americans was unjust and completely against all that our nation stands for, it was definitely not "just like the holocaust." Japanese-Americans were not targets for extermination like Jews, Gypsies, homosexuals, or other groups. Yes, they did lose their property in many instances, and they did suffer a temporary suspension of some of their civil liberties, but they were never victims of a "Final Solution." You need to do some extensive study into the nature of the Holocaust, as well as the history behind the internment of the Nisei during World War II. As for the website, it is fantastic!

I would like to thank you for making sure the ancient and medieval worlds were not neglected as it is the case in most U.S. history classes. But I would like to see you do an entry on the Mississippian culture especially the Chakoria settlement of the Middle Ages (AD500-1500). I would also like to see an entry on the ancient copper mines of Wisconsin from the years 3000BC-1000BC. Thank you again for not neglecting the ancient and medieval times. It is so refreshing to see an American history website or course that does not start in 1492.

Your "history" of Puritans in America is soaked in cliches and utterly inadequate in its description of what was in fact a diverse group of people intent on reforming a society in England that was rife with excessive self-indulgence and which later sunk into civil war between the absolute monarchists and the Puritan parlimentarians. It's appalling that you would post this online as a resource for trusting children and teachers who do not have the time and resources to examine primary sources for themselves. It seems a deliberate attempt to denigrate a group of people who struggled and often died in the course of advancing ideals, such as public education and helping the poor, that have become core values in America. Anyone who has the time to examine early Puritan documents in the form of wills, petitions and church rolls will find that the role of women in Puritan society was much stronger and more influential than is stated in your website's analysis. I hope you can assign a better historian to provide a more accurate analysis in future.

I social studies, my class is learning about the colonist's reaction about the Intolerable Acts that were placed on Massechussets in 1774. They formed the continental congress, and that was claerly stated, but not all of the colonies showed up even to that. Georgia could not make it, but luckily Massachussets could still make it. Also, this site, oh how great it is does not include the place where the continental congress took place, but I already knew that it took place in Pennsylvania. I have a random fact of the day. New York was actually the first U.S. capital, and there were many more before it permenantly became Washington D.C. That is why there is a statue of George Washington there.

Thanks for the info..I had bought a kindle book titled "Blood on the Tracks"..while reading it I wasn't sure if it was an actual event..I learned more from this site about the "Great Upheaveal" of 1877. The parallels between that event and the Occupiers today on Wall street is fascinating.. and lends more irony, truth, to the old saying "Those who forget the past are doomed to repeat it" What a coincidence to be, unknowingly, reading that while empathizing, (joining) the Occupiers

I actually visited Mesa Verde, and spoke with a descendent of the Pueblos. Although it is common belief that Anasazi tribes are who lived in the cliff dwellings, recent discoveries are showing it is the Pueblo Tribes that inhabited these amazing structures. Not only is it "recent discoveries", but the Pueblo descendents have been saying this for YEARS, ever since these sites were discovered. Also, most people pronounce " An-uh-sah-zee " This pronunciation actually means "ancient enemy" "nuh-sah-zee" is the proper pronunciation of this term. Anyway, I enjoyed learning about this, I thought I'd share. Feel free to comment, I'm not an expert by any means. ~CDR

An interesting view of Shay's Rebellion. It neglects to mention the farmers attempt to pay the debts owed with the local currency. Those to whom the debts were owed declined the currency as it had no value, instead requuring payment in gold or silver. The debtors only received the State produced currency for their labors, but were denied its use in the paying of debts. The State Courts found against the farmers and began confiscation of their farms. Hence, the rebellion.

I feel that the Mining Bonanza brought a sudden wave of development to the U.S. It definitely had its positive effects, but I think that it also lowered the quality of the lives of those who spent their lives in search of valuable metals.

This site is a very good resource for studying the different periods of the history of the U.S.A. I'm researching the diplomatic career of John Adams and have some questions about some of his correspondence from those years. Can someone point me to a specialist that can answer my questions?

This is an excellent U.S. History site. I am using it to teach my son. It's nice to see U.S. History presented as it should be.

Well a nice website with free information,( unlike most that think knowledge has a price). only comment I would suggest is a lot more tests then a nice final exam.

How did the people vote with so many men at war? Did they vote?

There is current discussion about doing away with the Electoral College. If I'm understanding things correctly, Lincoln would have lost the 1860 election since he garnished only 40% of the popular vote. Something to think about. Just stumbled upon your site. Will enjoy revisiting it since I enjoy American history.

America never forgets about 54-40 parallel north line and Port Simpson (city). Of course yes, I read them on the websites. Why do not the school system in the USA teach students about 54-40 or fight history? I have seen that school system in Canada teach about 54-40 or fight history on the websites.

You do not know what you are talking about when you call TR an egotistical backstabber. He only turned against Taft when Taft betrayed Roosevelt and sold out to the corporate interests.

Am I correct in observing that there are no blacks among the historians indicated on the home page? I would think the omission of perspective in such a significant element in our history could only serve to reduce the impact of an otherwise well organized and inviting history of our country.

I have studied American History, especially Modern American Military History for more than 40 years and I think this is a great site for some insightful historical data. I was checking out the section on the Vietnam War and there is a posting at a blog military history of the 20th century that has a great article written by Senator James Webb, ex Secretary of the Navy about his experiences as a platoon leader in Vietnam and comparing his experiences to the generations that remained at home during the war. I think every one should read that article to get a very personal opinion of the war.

This site is so cool.

Adding some critical thinking questions, some differentiated instruction activities, or other projects would be helpful for students and teachers. I must say though, this is great resource that I feel gives students the base they need to understand U.S. History. Thanks, Justin
Justin [03-12-2011]
The history of the U.S. has always been my favourite area of history. However, it's a subject I was never taught at school, since I'm from England. Thank you for this website, it's a brilliant resource to catch up on all of that stuff I was never taught at school.

This is an absolutely wonderful resource for my home schooled highschooler. Thanks!

I'm an American English teacher, historian and anthropologist living and working in China. My students were asking for a course on American history, and I came across your website and have been using it as our main text for the course. Thanks so much for putting this online.

Great site! Excellent info and well written,organised. Maybe someday you'll have a version for younger children.(?)

The site is excellent and I enjoy it very much. I grew up in western Illinois and made frequent trips with my parents to Navoo. Later, I visited when my college roommates were participating in an excavation. I learned that Joseph Smith and his brother were killed by an angry mob that stormed the jail in Carthage, Illinois. I have visited that jail.

This site has been useful in assisting my adult ed students with their history lessons. Due to the lack of textbooks, this site has served as an excellent supplement for their graduation requirement.
S. Felix, West Sacramento [03-26-2010]
Love your site! I struggle with teaching US History to white, middle-class students, and you all have done a beautiful job of bringing perspective and objectivity to 'our' history. Thanks so much for giving me a 'place' to go!

This website was a great companion with the material provided by my college. The information presented on this website was clearly explained.

This site was awesome. I found exactly what I needed.
a. holt [12-08-2008]
I think that you should write the article like for the text book. Then at the end summarize the main or important facts that students should know.

I love the concept of a free text. I hope you will revisit the piece on Rosa Parks though; she was in fact a trained activist and not just a tired seamstress, as your portrayal suggests. The Southern Poverty Law Center has an excellent film out on her that is free for educators (see tolerance.org/teach/activities/activity.jsp?ar=365) called "Mighty Times," and you can find more about her political activism training at tolerance.org/teach/activities/activity.jsp?p=0&ar=365&pa=2 . put more hitery Just read the piece on the Land of Television. I like history pieces that talk about culture. Do you have any info on Benedict Arnold. I need to do a report. I'm a big history buff and am already hooked on your site. God Bless America. Thanks for sharing this exceptional resource. I'll be visiting often. Ed, Venice, Florida Wow. What a useful resource for my 6th graders. I'll be sending them here often. Thank you so much for sharing this!
