(Oh, I know what you're thinking. This is some cheap attempt to get points during nominations week by catering to the Catholic homeschool crowd. The world may never know...)
I came across what looks like a valuable resource today. Best of History Web Sites is, to read their account of it...
"...an award-winning portal that contains annotated links to over 1000 history web sites as well as links to hundreds of quality K-12 history lesson plans, history teacher guides, history activities, history games, history quizzes, and more. BOHWS has been recommended by The Chronicle of Higher Education, The National Council for the Social Studies, The British Library Net, The New York Public Library, the BBC, Princeton University, -- and many others."
Personally, I think some foreknowledge of history is helpful in situations like this, since history tends to be written by the victors, and in the case of Western Civilization, most of the victors in recent centuries have been Protestant. But you already knew that, right?
I figured it out for myself after watching The History Channel on cable often enough to raise an eyebrow when they discuss the Middle Ages. But when it comes to the American Civil War and World War II, they really can't be beat.
