I want an interesting paper, something not a lot of people talk about. Something like, "The true first president of the United States - John Hanson" Any ideas?

Does is have to be American history? I'd go with the assassination of Russia's Tsar Nikolas II and his family in 1918. It's a timely topic, since it was just in the past week or so that they discovered what they believe are the remains of Nikolas' son Alexei and daughter Maria (or Anastasia, they're not entirely sure which). The mystery of what happened to the two children has lasted for nearly 100 years, with several people claiming to be one of the Grand Duchesses who miraculously escaped, the most famous being Anna Anderson/"Anastasia."

pick something that has a lot of resources readily available - do a few google searches before you pick a final topic.
If you are interested in political conspiracy or controvery in a presidential election - try Al Gore - and the voting scandal that occured in Florida.
Abraham Lincoln finding a competent general to lead the North during the Civil War.
The ethical practices and private files kept by J. Edgar Hoover - the FBI director during the late 1900s.
good luck

I think either the Role of African-Americans in the Civil War or The History of the "Black Hand" that lead to the beginning of the first world war are both interesting topics that most people do not really go after in this kind of thing.
