I'm looking for sites that have lots of in depth information on history (whose history doesn't really matter, I'm getting around to study as much of it as I can, but at the moment I'm studying English and American history). I already go to the BBC site and Wikipedia, but their information is more about major figures (such as kings) and doesn't really illustrate what life was like for common people during a given age, and that's what I'm really interested in.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
