If you enjoy watching the History Channel like we do, you should visit their website for "this day in history" at www.historychannel.com/today/. There are eleven categories with major events taking place on the current month and date you are viewing. For example, on this date, September 25 in 1789 the Bill of Rights passed Congress (found under "General Interest") Other categories include the Civil War, the Old West, Vietnam War, Cold War, Crime, Automotive, Wall Street, Literary, World War II, and Entertainment.
Another link on this page takes you to Speeches & Videos - a multimedia guide to the past. Many video clips are available to view, such as JFK speeches about the space race, the Cuban missile crisis and much more. Still another link takes to you Maps - for example you can view the map of Alexander's Empire, 323 BC. There are hundreds of maps at this site.
