| American History (ABC-CLIO) | From the first explorers in the New World to the developments in today's headlines, ABC-CLIO's authoritative American history website investigates the people, events, and themes of our nation's evolution through history and social studies resources for the scholar, student, teacher, and librarian in universities and secondary schools. In a series of lessons that integrate politics, science, the arts, philosophy, and economics, the website explores the ongoing development of the United States—its pre-colonial origins, westward expansion, social movements, internal conflicts, and modern-day defining moments.

| US at War (ABC-CLIO) | United States at War: Understanding Conflict and Society - Developed by a team of military historians and expert educators, ABC-CLIO's United States at War: Understanding Conflict and Society provides access to authoritative reference content, pertinent primary sources, and a wealth of historical insight and analysis on the important themes and consequences of all major U.S.-involved wars, from the founding of the country to the present. The database focuses on the conflict periods that have defined the nation from its earliest beginnings to today and includes nearly 13,000 primary and secondary sources, news on current conflicts, and balanced expert analysis with multiple perspectives that model good historical thinking. Whether scanning a Revolutionary War timeline, investigating how the insecure peace of World War I led to World War II, or comparing the beginnings of U.S. involvement in Southeast Asia with the recent Iraq War, United States at War helps students develop a deeper critical understanding of America's history and will serve as one of the essential resources for the study of American history for years to come. | |||||||||
