I take it you're only allowed to do things about American History? How about you do something on the Natives? I searched your document and didn't find a single reference to Natives or Indians, and that's a topic goldmine. You could do the first reactions settlers had when first meeting the natives, how Indians played a role in the French and Indian War, the Revolutionary War, the War of 1812, and so on and so forth. Do something about the Indians; it was their country first and loads of our history is dependent upon them.
