Try a consiracy. Like the Jkf shooting. Or maybe Watergate. Watergate was very interesting. Basically The leading cadidate for president was so paranoid of the other cadidate he hired spys to well, spy. (to put frankly) Anyway the whole thing blew up after he was president. I'm not sure. History is so interesting.

Any search engine will work (Google, Yahoo, etc).  You might want to narrow down the topic a bit (ex. battles in NJ, Deborah Sampson, or Fort Ticonderoga).  PBS did a television series called Liberty! which was very good, and there is also info on their website (www.pbs.org).

I am a HIgh School Teacher and am familar with history day.\n\nThis is very negative, and I am not sure what it would promote.\nThey want obscure history that is interesting and inspiring. \nFind out some things about the Undreground Railroad, Lewis & Clark, the Whig Party. etc.   \nJim Jones is history but it is minor and without alot of merit.

You could always pull some topics from whats happening in the world today. You could also tackle topics that are controversial. I think one topic that might be interesting is "How liberal is the media".\n\nBeing that you are interested in Conservative Journalism you may want to read "Letters to a Young Conservative" by Dinesh D'Souza. You can find it at amazon.com or your local library may have it.\n\nGood luck with your endeavor!

Obviously there are all the potential topics listed above, but these can sometimes be difficult to prove beyond personal feelings.  Something that can be easier and more fun to prove or disprove, are historical debates and conspiracies, such as, "Was their a second shooter at the JFK assassination?  If so, from where did they shoot?  Did Oswald actually do anything or was he a scapegoat?  Was their a mass conspiracy?  If so, did it involve the American government?"  You can talk about the existence of Bigfoot, the Loch Ness monster or aliens.  Maybe you'd rather talk about the different theories on how people got to the Americas or the Polynesian Islands.  Who was Jack the Ripper?  Did Shakespeare write his own plays?  Did the girls who accused the "witches" in Salem Village make everything up, eat rye infected by the fungus used to make LSD or suffer from clinical hysteria?  Did St. Patrick really exist?  Did King Arthur really exist?  Did Walt Disney have himself criogenically frozen?  Did Irish explorers reach the Americas in small boats?  Did a Welsh man reach the Americas long before Colombus and teach some Indian villages Welsh?  There are so many wonderful historical myths and theories to explore, which can be more fun for you and refreshing and interesting for your teacher to grade.  I hope this helped!

Anything that has to do with politics or religions will be a good topic, but becareful these topics can turn into anger and violence.  \n\nA good topic should be one that people usually have strong and mixed opinions on.

Talk about history, what it represents, and what it means to you.

Wow, that is a huge topic.  I suppose you could find some general things, but each region probably has its own unique background.  Try doing a websearch on a certain region or tribe and "history or religion"
