Helpful search terms and tips for students
• History.com is a great place to start for short information; try searching for your Westward Expansion terms under “This Day in History”
The Library of Congressis one of the best sources for online primary source documents.
The Smithsonian’s History and Culture Collectionis another great resource for primary documents from American History. See for example Lewis and Clark, “Mapping the West”
You will probably find that a lot of your search terms overlap–as you have learned, all these ideas are connected. For instance, if you search “Louisiana Purchase,” you will also find information on Lewis and Clark. Or, if “Westward Expansion” is not giving you the results you want, try searching “Manifest Destiny.” When searching “Trail of Tears,” you should also search “Indian Removal Act.” Search the presidents. Thomas Jefferson was president when he bought the Louisiana Territory and hired Lewis and Clark to explore it. Andrew Jackson ordered the Indian Removal Act. James K. Polk ran for president with the Manifest Destiny platform and provoked Mexico into a war over Texas. Encyclopedia Britannica is a good place to search information about the presidents. Some subtopics are very popular and have a lot of information. For instance, under “Lewis and Clark,” you will find a lot of information about Sacagawea; or when researching the US-Mexican War, you will find that the subject of the Alamo is very popular.
