I'll let you do your own homework...\n\nBut, here's where to start.\n\nAnd remember, copying is plagarism. And most teachers know exactly what is on the internet. So do NOT cheat.\n\nhttp://www.cr.nps.gov/nr/twhp/wwwlps/lessons/12manassas/12manassas.htm

Sounds like you might want to narrow things down a good bit.\n\nWhy not read an account of the Battle of Gettysburg? Then, pick out one of the major characters and use him as the focus of your paper. Research his background -- and talk about the role he played in the battle. Share what you learn about his family life.\n\nOn the Confederate side, Gen. James Longstreet (who was Gen. Robert E. Lee's number-two guy) would be a fine choice. Or, there's Gen. George Pickett -- the leader of the doomed Confederate charge on the third day of the battle. Or Gen. J.E.B. Stuart, leader of the Southern cavalry who -- along with his men -- was strangely absent for much of the battle. Stuart's failure contributed mightily to the Confederates' lack of decent intelligence on Union troop movements.\n\nOn the Union side, Gen. Abner Doubleday -- later credited with inventing the game of baseball -- played a big role in the early fighting. And Joshua Chamberlain, a college professor with zero professional military training who led a company of men in a key defense of Little Round Top -- and won the Medal of Honor.\n\nThere's plenty to write about. The key will be whittling the topic down to something manageable.

OK, I'll give it my best shot...\n\n* Who is the speaker or speakers in the poem, and what is the situation?\n\nThe speaker appears to be a military trainee, learning about the names of parts in (bolt, breech, saftey, etc. ) and functions of his rifle.\n\n* What basic contrasts are represented by the trainees and by the gardens?\n\nThere are several:\n"..eloquent gestures, Which in our case we have not got."\nNot much eloquent about cleaning a rifle...\n\n"If you have any strength in your thumb. The blossoms\nAre fragile and motionless"\nStrength vs fragility\n\n"Easing the spring. And rapidly backwards and forwards\nThe early bees are assaulting and fumbling the flowers:\n          They call it easing the Spring"\nTwo different definitions of spring, one in the rifle, one a season.\n\nand more...\n\n* What statement does the poem make about war as it affects men and their lives?\n\nWar is about hard, cold things like rifles and all that goes with war, whereas the gardens represent beauty, silence, peace.\nThe gardens bring out the best in man, wars the worse.\n\nHope this helps!

Key Event: America Signs Treaty with Tripoli.\n\nSome more Key Events in President George Washington's Administration\n\n• Precedents---Washington established two main precedents: a cabinet and the two-year term.\n• Whiskey Rebellion, 1794---Washington ordered 15,000 troops to Pennsylvania and crushed the first challenge to federal authority.\n• Farewell Address, 1796---Washington warned against the evils of political parties and "tangling alliances" abroad. \n\n\nOn April 30, 1789, George Washington, standing on the balcony of Federal Hall on Wall Street in New York, took his oath of office as the first President of the United States. "As the first of every thing, in our situation will serve to establish a Precedent," he wrote James Madison, "it is devoutly wished on my part, that these precedents may be fixed on true principles." \n\nBorn in 1732 into a Virginia planter family, he learned the morals, manners, and body of knowledge requisite for an 18th century Virginia gentleman. \n\nHe pursued two intertwined interests: military arts and western expansion. At 16 he helped survey Shenandoah lands for Thomas, Lord Fairfax. Commissioned a lieutenant colonel in 1754, he fought the first skirmishes of what grew into the French and Indian War. The next year, as an aide to Gen. Edward Braddock, he escaped injury although four bullets ripped his coat and two horses were shot from under him. \n\n   \n From 1759 to the outbreak of the American Revolution, Washington managed his lands around Mount Vernon and served in the Virginia House of Burgesses. Married to a widow, Martha Dandridge Custis, he devoted himself to a busy and happy life. But like his fellow planters, Washington felt himself exploited by British merchants and hampered by British regulations. As the quarrel with the mother country grew acute, he moderately but firmly voiced his resistance to the restrictions. \n\nWhen the Second Continental Congress assembled in Philadelphia in May 1775, Washington, one of the Virginia delegates, was elected Commander in Chief of the Continental Army. On July 3, 1775, at Cambridge, Massachusetts, he took command of his ill-trained troops and embarked upon a war that was to last six grueling years. \n\nHe realized early that the best strategy was to harass the British. He reported to Congress, "we should on all Occasions avoid a general Action, or put anything to the Risque, unless compelled by a necessity, into which we ought never to be drawn." Ensuing battles saw him fall back slowly, then strike unexpectedly. Finally in 1781 with the aid of French allies--he forced the surrender of Cornwallis at Yorktown. \n\nWashington longed to retire to his fields at Mount Vernon. But he soon realized that the Nation under its Articles of Confederation was not functioning well, so he became a prime mover in the steps leading to the Constitutional Convention at Philadelphia in 1787. When the new Constitution was ratified, the Electoral College unanimously elected Washington President \n\nHe did not infringe upon the policy making powers that he felt the Constitution gave Congress. But the determination of foreign policy became preponderantly a Presidential concern. When the French Revolution led to a major war between France and England, Washington refused to accept entirely the recommendations of either his Secretary of State Thomas Jefferson, who was pro-French, or his Secretary of the Treasury Alexander Hamilton, who was pro-British. Rather, he insisted upon a neutral course until the United States could grow stronger. \n\nTo his disappointment, two parties were developing by the end of his first term. Wearied of politics, feeling old, he retired at the end of his second. In his Farewell Address, he urged his countrymen to forswear excessive party spirit and geographical distinctions. In foreign affairs, he warned against long-term alliances. \n\nWashington enjoyed less than three years of retir

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).
