Choose a historical person, event, issue, or place relevant to American history (contiguous United States) from
1877 to the 1990s.Topics such as “WWI”, “WWII”, “The Holocaust”, are too broad, your topic needs to be
specific enough for 5 pages and concentrated within American history.
Complete a 5 page essay based on the following questions.
1.How does your topic fit into history? Why is it important?
2.How was your topic affected by previous events? How did it affect contemporary events (during the same
time period)? How did it affect future events (immediate and present day)?
- What decisions are being made? Do you agree with them? What would you change?
