Answer 1

Not sure what help you need. You really need help identifying a person who contributed to American History from 1492 to 1880?

Lincoln. Presidency. 1860-1865. People have written 2 dozen volume encyclopedias on this period. You should be able to mine 4 pages.

Answer 2

The most influential person in that time frame without a doubt was Abe Lincoln. Without Lincoln's relentless resolve to preserve the union, there would be no United States today. His actions helped to build the United States into the world power that it is today. He also brought down the institution of slavery and made ALL americans ''forever free''.

Answer 3

Okay, if you want a unique report do it on General William Tecumseh Sherman. He was a general for the troops of the North and captured most of Georgia. He spared the city of Savannah, GA and gave it to President Lincoln as a gift. That is why it is one of the only cities in the south with all of its original architecture. Below is an excerpt I found on the net:




In 1864, the city was captured by Northern troops led by General William Tecumseh Sherman. After taking the city General Sherman offered the captured city and Port of Savannah to his Commander-in-Chief and telegraphed President Lincoln with the following message:

"I beg to present you as a Christmas gift the City of Savannah, with one hundred and fifty guns and plenty of ammunition, also about twenty-five thousand bales of cotton."

Answer 4

-Abraham Lincoln and the Emancipation Proclamation
-General William T. Sherman's March to the Sea
-Thomas Jefferson and the Declaration of Independence
-Sam Houston and Texas independence
-Seward's Folly, the purchase of Alaska

Answer 5

Crispus Attickus - 1st to die in Revolutionary war
Paul Revere - rode the horse and cried the British are coming
Frederick Douglas
Thomas Jefferson
Andrew Jackson -
Iberville and Bienville - how they landed and founded New Orleans and Mobile (and why they picked the places - both near the water).
Lewis and Clark...

On and on.....

Answer 6

you're able to p.c.. Ronald Reagan, he's familiar, he contributed to American historical past, and he's arguable. a large variety of folk in the u . s . a . do unlike him yet human beings in eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union think of he killed communism along with his loopy talk of megastar Wars (aka SDI or the Strategic protection Initiative). human beings in the u . s . a . laughed on the assumption on the time, observed because it a loopy pipe dream, yet human beings in the Soviet block took him heavily, fairly human beings extreme up in the government there. They have been somewhat protecting up in the hands race because it exchange into at large price to their u . s . a . and the concept that they might now could compete with megastar Wars -- which by the way would have rendered their total great nuclear arsenal out of date in a stroke -- this gave them nightmares and brought about them to fall apart.

Answer 7

Betsy Ross and the making of the flag.

Answer 8

Eli Whitney - his invention of the cottin gin presaged the necessity of slavery in the South.
