Attention! Needing some help around here

[kamachiono.livejournal.com]

Ahh okay so I didn't come in with fanart but a question requesting for help.

I recently got into college and am in US History. (Alfred keeps running around in my head...)

ANYWAYS!

There's an extra project worth 50 points! That's like a lot, and history isn't my forte but I am going to try for it. We basically take an era and write a paper OR do something creative with it. I personally asked my Professor if I could make an animation or something and she totally agreed. I even asked which eras had the most nations involved....She listed many but rather that I look some on my own. Durr...

Ummm soo I wanted to make an animation using Hetalia!~~~~~
I'm lame, I know....

I just wanted to see if anyone would like to help me pick a specific era? I am bounded by the timeline of 1492-1865. I'm horrible with years so I don't know what happened when...I'll draw a gift if you want a bribe? OAO;;;;

And, of course, I would do the lovely copyright issues to the lovely mangaka~ And I would post the final stuff on here ahahaha...

So umm..Help please? owo;;;

How about the War of 1812 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_of_1812)? I remember my teacher calling it America's coming out party since winning that war was like a message to the other countries that the US could take care of itself.

There's the Civil War too although I'm not sure how that would work out, but it's a broad topic. 1850-1860s (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_United_States_(1849%E2%80%931865)) had a lot of crazy stuff happening.
