I'm writing a 5 page research paper for my AP us history class and we need to write about a person from the period 1492 - 1800. We need to write about their role in something that happened during their life. We are not allowed to do a biography just about a certain time in their life. So i need to people to research about and im having a hard time thinking of one. Please help it would be awesome!
