Hexbears. I need your help. I have a term paper that I need a topic for. Here’s the rub: It’s for US history, and the topic has to be US history before 1893. I wanted to write about labor unions, which took off in the US around the 1870s, but the real “history” of organized labor in the US takes place well past 1893. So the professor will very likely reject that.
I’m not a history person. I know, I know “those who don’t learn from the past…” I don’t want to write about the American civil war and all that shit though. It’s been done to death. Any ideas on a topic I could pick that would be more interesting and more left-leaning?
Not asking for any help writing it. I just need some help picking a topic that would be interesting to research.
Not my requirement. The professor stated that anything after 1893 is not part of the course and cannot be included in the term paper. Kinda bullshit, but it is what it is. I mean fuck man, so it started in the 1870s but went well past that, so I can’t cover it? That’s kind of bullshit.
I definitely agree. the Knights of Labor were huge. But I don’t have a lot of data on pre- Knights of Labor. Also it’s just a pre-req course. I’m not looking to make a masterpiece. XD
