I need a topic to do a paper on for my American History class. The paper has to be 1,500 words so the topic can't be too specific. The topic can't be current either.

Why not do a paper on the way that certain events in American History have affected the way (and world) we live in today? There's an old saying that 'those who forget the past are doomed to relive it', show a connection to past events, wars or even individuals and the way that the country and the world were affected by them.

How the American Dream has changed since the discovery of the US (fighting for freedom, Civil War and Revo. War) to wanting to be rich (trans years) to survival (great depression, WW1) to spreading freedom around the globe (WWII to today) but you could stop w/ WWII.

I think you should do a paper on "How has Mr. T impacted American Television Culture, and How Mr. T has impacted my life."
