1. One possible topic for my research project would be to track the origins of the North\/South divide, and events leading up to the Civil War. I would pay close attention to the debate over slavery, while also examining the economic and cultural differences that contributed to this conflict. I would also closely analyze various time period leaders and their influence on the divide. I would use the Davidson Library resources such as JSTORE and EBSCO to gather information. Also, I will utilize the Davidson Archives to see how the North\/South divide affected Davidson.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

2. Another possible topic for my research project would be to analyze the communication networks throughout the various regions of the early United States. I would look at the trade routes that were established along waterways and wagon trails, and attempt to locate specific trading posts throughout the country. It would be a goal to find some types of lists or inventory as to the type of products that passed through these trading posts. I would also use many historical maps throughout this process. I would use the Davidson library resources, and also the Davidson archive to locate maps.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

3. One other possible topic would be to track the development of various colleges and universities throughout the country. I would analyze geographic location, along with progression of curriculum offered. This would allow me to trace the transition from religious teachings a wider variety of fields. I also would pay attention to the regions with quicker developments and those with slower developments. I would utilize Online archives and articles and primary sources offered by the Davidson library resources.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
