not too broad, events such as "Boston Massacre"

Answer 1

Revolutionary War, French and Indian War, Lewis and Clark expeditions, Civil War...holy cow there are TONS of important historical events that would have adequate resources for this assignment!

Answer 2

The American Civil War took place from 1861-1865. There are tons of books and information available about that!

Answer 3

Try John Brown's raid on the Federal Arsenal at Harper's Ferry, VA.(now WVa.). This was a crucial time in our nation's history. As one writer put it, "John Brown was the meteor that signaled the coming of the American Civil War". You should have no trouble getting five pages out of this intriguing, yet sadly tragic human being. Failure in everything he ever undertook. The only thing he did right was to die, thus becoming a martyr for the Abolitionist cause.

Answer 4

Try Manifest Destiny-that should give you five good pages. It will encompass westward expansion, Lewis and Clark, John C. Fremont, the Civil War, the war with Mexico and the beat goes on.
