The Seneca Falls Convention: The Roots Of Entitled White Feminism An easy read that is straight forward about the two organizers Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Lucretia Mott with a profile on women and feminism. An added bonus to this article is the view of Frederick Douglas. There are also various sites within the article to explore.

Although there are no primary docs, this site is still a helpful resource for elementary students (especially ELLs) who have little or no background knowledge about the first Thanksgiving, the Pilgrims and Native Americans.

Exploring the Digital Vaults is easy. You can browse through the hundreds of photographs, documents, and film clips and discover the connection between some of the National Archives' most treasured records.

This is a great American History website aimed at elementary students. They break down the articles nicely for younger readers. One thing I don't love about it is how the search works - it goes from kid friendly to something that looks more overwhelming and adult. The site is really easy to explore and perfect for beginning researchers and historians.
