Hi guys,
I need a little bit of help... I just wrote a 17 pager paper for my U.S. History class on the major important events in American history from first contact through the Civil War in 1861. The rough draft of this paper counted as the class' midterm exam and the final draft of it is to take place of the final exam, and it is due next week. I was returned the rough draft of my essay last week in class and noticed "GAP!" written in red ink between two of my paragraphs. In my paper, I kind of jumped from the admittance of the United States Constitution in 1787 to the beginning of the Civil War in 1862 (so there most definitely was a gap--like a hundred years). Now I must fill in the important events that took place between then. Can anybody suggest to me what I should write about? What is worth noting in American History between 1787 and 1861? Thanks guys!!!
