Look at the Intercollegiate Studies Institute. It’s all there. ISI.org
Mr. Bedford is the first person who came to mind. His Civil War posts are always interesting & informative.
No reason to not go directly to the original sources.
The Articles of Confederation
The Declaration of Independence
The Constitution
Anything about William Penn
Anything about The Scottish Enlightenment
There are tons of OLD sources.

Get an old Encyclopedia Britannica, maybe before 1985. Then get an even older one say 1920. Study everything you can find about Americans and American History. In my experience the British of that era give a much more accurate account of America.
Of course you will need something else for modern history.
And for textbooks don’t forget “A Patriot’s History of the United States, by our own FREEPER, LS. My son is taking US
History next year (11th grade); I will help pay for a new laptop for him if he reads the entire book very thoroughly.
Victor Davis Hanson for military and Classical history. Try the webpage of the Hudson Institute for other subjects.
Also City-Journal.org. You can browse by author and most of them have published something.
I know you want online but there is no reason you can’t read those old encyclopedias plus a lot of people will give them away or sell low.

Most folks alive today, including many professors of history, have never even heard of St. George Tucker and his work. The revisionists have virtually erased him and if you read his work you will readily see why.
You cannot beat this and you will be surprised:
