Are you kidding? The 1960 was one of the most dynamic times in history in the united stats. There are so many good topics you could pick from. The Civil Rights movement was at its apex in the 1960 with the Black Planters, MLK, Malcolm X and others, the counter culture started by the baby boomers they challenged traditional values for the first time in the united states, and Music and art was exploding, with festivals like Woodstock people like The Beatles, Grateful Dead, Led Zeppelin, Jimmi Hendrix and many many more were changing rock and roll forever. Also many great authors were writing in the 60's people like William Burroughs, Jack Kerouac, Alen Ginsberg, Ken Kesey, Tom Wolfe, Neil Casady, Hunter S. Thompson. Look into this stuff and the essay will be easy, I love the 60's I hope you grow to think of it the same way as I do.
Good Luck Hope this was helpful

Do your essay on the Fifty-fourth Massachusetts Volunteer Regiment. It is the first all black volunteer regiment. The film "Glory" is a exotic movie for a reference. This takes position for the period of the American Civil war, 1863-1865. If no longer this, do one of the crucial battles of the civil war. There is a lot out there from the Civil war it's hard to not in finding an idea. World struggle one or two are different best issues. The first world war the u.S. Was once now not very robust and obtained a variety of help from the french. The 2nd world struggle the U.S. Used to be greater and came out of the battle as a superpower of the world while Europe was in ruins. There's so much detail to enter with all these ideas. So just decide on one and appear up information on-line or in a library. I carried out essays before on the cold war, Ronland Reagan, James Polk, The American-Mexican warfare, and the Spanish American warfare. I'm in institution right now going for a historical past measure so i really like all of these issues. All of them are intersting and no longer hard to seek out matters about. That you may significantly analzye the involvement of the U.S. Before entering world war one or two. World struggle two can be better.

Well, you could write about the plans of Johnson and his Great Society and how the Vietnam War gradually and overwhelmingly brought it to an end? That is from the assassination of JFK and July 1965 in how this occured .

Selma (Bloody Sunday) or Stonewall ... *shrugs*
The death of JFK, assassination of Malcolm X and/or Martin Luther King and how it affected society... Freedom Riders, Hippies, the second wave of feminism... There are quite a few things to write about.
