1. For starters, try the following website. It has the transcripts of an eyewitness account of the action that ignited the series of events leading to American independence: http://www.eyewitnesstohistory.com/teaparty.htm For the attack on Pearl Habor try the following: http://www.eyewitnesstohistory.com/pearl.htm
2. How about you actually do your research instead of doing it the easy way. Haven't you ever heard of google? Or maybe your history textbook, hey theres an idea.
3. try wickipebia thats not right, wickipedia no thats the same grr i cant spell.
4. As I understand it, a research paper is to teach you to do research--that is, to delve around and find information. It's a very useful skill. Anything I could tell you would be shallow, compared with the depth of information you need. ( I would suggest the tea party, however--less information to have to process. Just be sure to include Lord North; Samuel Adams; why the tax on tea; who took part; consequences of the act.)
5. Oh no, if I had to do my own research during school, so should you. I'll tell you what I was told, get a book and look it up. Here's a thought...go to your local library.
