What is a good topic to write that would make a good 20 page paper having to do with New England up to 1826? And please don't say the Salem Witch Trials. I know that's a topic many people would pick.
The rise of abolitionism? The growth of industrialism in NE, & the changing proportion of urban v ruralpopulation ? The effects of the whaling industry on NE? Population make-up by national/racial origins for the region, over the 1700-1800 era? The rise & fall & rise of religious zealotry over the 17th-19th centuries, leading to the Great Awakening? The growth of self-government in new england, pre-revolution period? Changing patterns of agricultural usage over 3 centuries? (tough one to research, though I suspect it'd be very interesting data en masse. Dull as dogshit to gather :(
