“Who Freed the Slaves?,” thought-provoking article written by James M. McPherson, asks who or what was responsible for freeing slaves in the United States. Was it Lincoln as most people presume or the slaves themselves?  McPherson explores many theories in this article, including ____________ , _____ and ________. For each theory he observes, probes and calls into question their stability from all points of view.\n\nI would summarize his theories in the blanks above, the way you had it listed before didn't make any sense.\n\nWhat was the assignment, just to summarize what the article discussed? Was there a conclusion in the article? If so, you should discuss the conclusion.

1600 to 1820 is a very broad time frame, and a lot of things happened then.\nthe first English settlement, in Jamestown, was built.\nthe Salem Witch Trials in Massachusetts.\nThe French and Indian War.\nThe American Revolution.\nThe signing of the Constitution.\nThe war with the Native Americans to the west.\nThe war of 1812.\n\nIn my opinion, making a replica of the buildings in that period sounds rather dull, and it can be hard.\n\nEither make a little skit, which would be fun for your classmates to watch, or take the easy way out and do a power point. Keep in mind though, power points can be tiresome because you have to find good images on a computer. Writing a skit is easy because it's whatever you want it to be.\n\nI would advise you to find a small subject. If you did a presentation on the entire revolution, it would be too broad and end up being vague. So focus on one event. You could take a famous part of the war, say the Seige on Boston, and you could act out what happened that caused the English army to lose.\nYou could take one famous person from the revolution, and give the personal side of him, and what happened after the war was over.\nYou could look at the campaign in the 1790's to take the Ohio Valley away from the Native Americans. You could look at Arthur St Clair's humiliating loss, and how much it cost the American army.\nOr you could do something about American culture. How did Thanksgiving come about. Who were the people on the Mayflower, and what was the agreement they made with King James, and how did that eventually cause the Puritan majority in Massachusetts, which lead to the Salem Witch Trials.\nLook at someone like Ben Franklin...he was a famous inventor, he discovered how to harness electricity, he was very respected among all Americans. When he became a revolutionary, how did that shape the way other Americans felt?\nThere is a lot you can play around with. I say find something that happened, that was either exciting or humorous, something you can take somewhat of an interest in. That way, you won't bore yourself to death trying to work on it, and your presentation will come off more interesting (which means a better grade).\n\nOnce you choose your subject, you could have a skit together, or a power point, in just a day or two. That way, your classmates don't fall asleep, and you don't have to worry about your replica getting broken.\n.

for which class?  pick something that interests you!  if you are in history, choose how a certain person you like could had a big impact on a historical event.  When you pick your 4 sources, so to the library and search under "subject" for your topic.  Then get some different information out of each one.  \n\nThat's a very general question!  Good LUCK!

Go to the National History Day website to get some ideas:\n\nhttp://www.nationalhistoryday.org\n\nRemember to keep the focus of your project narrow, i.e. don't try to do a project on the entire French Revolution, for example; focus one one aspect of your chosen subject which interests you.  My daughter learned that the hard way.

Go (or call) to your local library.  Ask them if they have any information.  Some libraries have a local history room that might have that information.\n\nGood luck in your search.

Well, first you need to do your homework and decide for yourself what Americans value. Is it freedom? Material goods? Their rights? Food? Deciding on something may help you find an items to present. This sounds like a tough question. You may not find the *perfect* answer, but you can put some thought into it and then be prepared to defend what you chose.\n\n("I chose food because Americans can't seem to stop overindulging in it even though it causes health problems and will be a huge drain on our resources.")

Sorry.  However, everyone is right, you've got to do your own homework.  If you try a search on just about any search engine, it should bring up at least one thing that will help you.  All else fails, head to a book store!

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).

You could just try looking the information up, instead of relying on the faulty memories here in Yahoo! Answers.  \n\nBut, just to try and help you out...New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Maine, Illinois, etc.  Pretty much every state North of the Mason Dixon Line were non-slave holding states.  Missouri was one that was in contention as it was North of the line, but when it achieved statehood, it was granted the right to be a slave state in 1851, if I remember my history correctly.

Check your history textbook, I'm sure there will be a section on it, elsewise your teacher probably wouldn't have assigned the question (unless it was in notes that you missed, weren't paying attention to, or were too busy writing notes to your friends.\n\nHint:  in the back of your textbook there should be an index.  Look up Jefferson, and possibily, neutrality.  Heck, if you can't find it then, look it up on google.\n\nBut for heaven's sake.  Do your own homework!  Do you think WE get any benefit from this?  Your homework and research practices will benefit you.  But they can't and won't unless YOU do them!
