An Outline of American History: This is an online history textbook. Probably just as helpful as your book.

Digital History: This is another online history textbook, but it may be better than the above.

Liberty - The American Revolution: This is a great interactive web site through PBS.

American Memory, Library of Congress: Searching is difficult, but once you find what you’re looking for...Jackpot!
