The links below will take you to resources that are not a part of WSCSS website. Links will open in a new window.
- Age of Imperialism. Very nice site on U.S. foreign policy during the 18th & 19th Century.
- Crucible of Empire: The Spanish-American War deals with America's transition from a republic, founded in opposition to imperialism, to an empire. According to the site, when a declining Spain beset by rebellion abroad, fell to American expansionism, the U.S. inherited her colonies & suddenly emerged as a world power. The experience & questions that the Spanish/American War raised about foreign intervention echo throughout the 20th century, as recent events in Kosovo show. (NEH)

The collection is particularly strong in antebellum Southern music, confederate imprints, & Civil War songs & music. (LOC)
