Answer 1

Some topic ideas for turning points in American history:

Revolution era: Boston Tea Party (1773); Battle of Saratoga (1777)

Westward expansion: Discovery of gold in California (1848), Homestead Act (1862)

Civil rights: The Civil War (obviously), but also 14th Amendment (1868), Civil Rights Act (1964)

Women's rights: 19th Amendment (1920), FDA approval of birth control pill (1960),

Political transformation: The New Deal (1933 and following)

Loss of confidence in government: Vietnam War, especially the Tet Offensive (1968), Watergate scandal and resignation of Nixon (1972-74)

Global conflict: Collapse of communism and USSR -- end of Cold War (1989-91). 9/11 attacks begin the "war on terror" (2001)

Those are just some ideas, there could be ample others.
