Letter to the Teacher
As all of you know, in the wake of the Civil War the Ku Klux Klan was born in Tennessee in 1866 as a social club. Led by Nathan Bedford Forrest, the Klan became a powerful force against the efforts of those pressing for Reconstruction. A series of increasingly stringent federal laws aimed at the Klan culminated in the Ku Klux Klan Hearings and finally, on April 20, 1871, in the passage of the Ku Klux Klan Act

Answer 2

I know, if I got my timeline right, the development of the railroad. You could get ten pages out of this. Find the old map that has the railways across America. Go on and on about what a pain and hard work it must have been to assemble that stuff by trailing around or however they did it. So, you could talk about a lot of states and the states that got most into it or whereever the railroads are mostly concentrated in the era. Then, talk about the methods of constructing the tracks. That would keep your reader. Of course, the train. What happened next now that this was in effect? Transporting huge heavy things in big numbers no problem so it must have affected development. How many trolleys can you hitch to a train? Very fascinating technology for the era and today (if I got my dates right).

Answer 3

Classical Musicians!

Answer 4

I would do one on the war of 1812. It was British/Canada VS USA ;)

Answer 5

1776 declaration of independence and all the facts leading up to it
