A little thing o History
 

I have to do a speech in history (bah) and I need a topic. Some obscure little topic/battle would be nice, but one that I can get not-often heard facts about.

Between 1492 and ... the civil war, whenever that was :)

US History only.


A person, a battle? Preferably a battle. Lemme know what you guys know of, thanks.

That leaves you the american revolution,mexican american war or the war of 1812. I always liked the battle of new orleans. Theres also the alamo, the burning of DC, Custers last stand, etc. Theres a ton of them. It shouldnt be too hard to fnd one.

Wrong Custers last stand happend after the U.S. Civil War.

there is one every year
Michigan vs Ohio State!

GO BLUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LOL - I guess its a good thing Im not writing the paper.

Do the Battle of Concord and Lexington. Get the book called "Minutemen and Their World", read the chapter that involves the battle, and viola.

lol basically a book report

Shouldn't this be in the history forum?

i got kicked out of history class for a day cause i was looking up the battle history of stalingrad and the white rose of russia (female fighter ace, first woman with a registered kill.)

What? Why did you get kicked out?
Here's a cool flash showing how Stalingrad went, I also have the book with the same name waiting to be read after I finish this other book. Aghhhhhhh...

They should have been communist.

Start your paper like this:

In the year of 1492,
Columbus sailed the ocean blue.
The Nina, the Pinta, the Santa Maria,
Were the boats that took him here-a.

Thanks Spooge,
