The Encyclopedia of American History is an unrivalled reference source for any topic you want to do basic research on. It's a print source, but it is available in its entirety from the Internet Archive--even at 5,000+ pages! Highly recommended for further information on important topics--or just for aimless browsing! This is a link to a 160MB PDF file. To use it effectively, you need to download it to your harddrive and open it with Adobe Acrobat PDF Reader. It has an unusual organization: it's divided into 10 historical periods, and then alphabetical by topic within each volume. It does contain a comprehensive Index of all entries at the end. But these are not hyperlinks, so you have to scroll to the correct volume and page. Not ideal, I admit. But the quantity and quality of reliable information is superb and justifies some inconvenience. And, it's FREE!
