Hexbears. I need your help. I have a term paper that I need a topic for. Here’s the rub: It’s for US history, and the topic has to be US history before 1893. I wanted to write about labor unions, which took off in the US around the 1870s, but the real “history” of organized labor in the US takes place well past 1893. So the professor will very likely reject that.
I’m not a history person. I know, I know “those who don’t learn from the past…” I don’t want to write about the American civil war and all that shit though. It’s been done to death. Any ideas on a topic I could pick that would be more interesting and more left-leaning?
Not asking for any help writing it. I just need some help picking a topic that would be interesting to research.
Aren’t there some interesting Utopian communes? Not necessarily as successful but it’s always an interesting thing to consider/learn from.

There’s probably no one as based as the Luddites/Diggers/Levellers in the 17th Century in England, but sometimes these groups can have fascinating ideologies.
