Pick a historical research topic/event related to United States history and write three sentences of why you picked it and locat
e 5 resources you plan to use to research it. The sources need to be typed in MLA format on the Works Cited page below. For example, if any one of you choose something that happened during the Civil Rights, don't do that whole topic but pick an event that happened in the Civil Rights, get what I'm saying and asking for help on?
Also, please be specific and you may choose any historical event that isn't too broad(for example, WW2) and something that YOU personally find cool or fascinating, any help will do, please and thank you :)
Okay ill give a little bit of help but i won't do the whole thing for you. If i had this project i would do a bit of research on Pearl Harbor because it was a significant event in American History as well as an easy one to research because there are plenty of places to find information and would be easy to cite. One reason you could say you wanted to research this is that it was a significant moment in American history, and reverted America from its stance on isolationism and from then on was actively involved in global conflict. This is an easier assignment, just make sure you take your time doing it so you don't feel like you're rushing yourself and don't get overwhelmed. I hope this helps :)
The Continental Congress commissioned George Washington as Commander in Chief of the Continental Army on June 19, 1775. Washington was selected over other candidates such as John Hancock based on his previous military experience and the hope that a leader from Virginia could help unite the colonies.
