  1. How do historians view the expansion of slavery in connection to the American Empire narrative? Essentially, this topic would look at the slave trade and subsequent growth of the cotton industry as a major catalyst to the recognition of the United States as a legitimate player on the world stage.
  2. The Anti-Native American Empire. This topic would deal with how the early growth of the republic and then subsequent explosion of southern cotton necessitated a refocusing of Native American policy in the eyes of the American government. Was it a shift in policy or something ingrained in the American psyche?
  3. Most likely my topic: Slavery as a complex, efficient Southern industrial system. This topic expounds on our reading from Beckert and Rockman to dive into how historians have portrayed the efficiency of the slave trade and system.
