Contemporary American History Research Topics?
I need to write a 12 page paper in which I utilize 4 different books about a topic in American History. The catch is, each book has to present a different argument towards the topic. For example, one book might say Columbus was a savior for bringing European culture to native savages, while another book might say Columbus was a murderer who killed and enslaved thousands, etc. I would much rather write about a contemporary topic though. I am considering the My Lai massacre. Any other ideas?
lol, I read the Zinn book years ago, thats where I got the Columbus example from

That sounds like a good starting point. Check out the book A People's History of the United States by Howard Zinn. I had to read that for a history class and I must say that the author has rather unique viewpoints on just about every even in American history.
