Washington History Day Topic Guide

You can make history live

History Day is a contest for students that encourages the use of primary sources to get an up-close and personal view of an historical event More than finding a summary in an encyclopedia or locating some pictures on the web primary sources work to illustrate your topic from a first person point of view And while you can find primary sources online the real thrill of historical research comes from holding actual documents from that time in your hands By doing your own research asking and answering key historical questions you can become an expert on a topic and tell its story through a History Day project

The phrase ldquoit isnrsquot just a dayhellipitrsquos an experiencerdquo defines History Day You become the historian Extend the walls of the classroom into archives college libraries and manuscripts collections museums and other places that hold the information that you will need to interpret your topic Learn more about your own family and community history or some other topic that really matters to you

Explore topics that support the 2017-18 History Day Theme Conflict and Compromise in History

During the 2017-2018 school year National History Day invites students to research and interpret topics related to the theme Conflict and Compromise in History As is the case each year the theme is broad enough to encourage investigation of topics ranging from local history to world history and from ancient time to the recent past

The theme Conflict and Compromise in History is complex and asks students to view history through multiple perspectives In some cases the conflicts existed without compromise In others compromise was reached before major conflicts ensued In the end some conflicts were averted with compromises like treaties However more often events in history reflect both conflict and compromise Students may choose to focus on a conflict or a compromise but if the topic includes one as well as the other the student needs to address both sides of the theme

To understand the historical importance of their topics students must ask questions of time and place cause and effect change over time and impact and significance They must ask not only when did events happen but why did they happen What factors contributed to their development What was the lasting influence in history How did this topic change the course of events What effect did the event have on the community society nation and world

There are hundreds of topics related to World War II The war effort at home and abroad provides rich research possibilities that students might investigate For example students might analyze Japanese internment as a by-product of conflict that might be unique to a nation of immigrants How did the treatment of Americans and recent immigrants of German or Italian origin compare with that experienced by people of Japanese origin

Or a student may wish to investigate how African American troops particularly at Fort Lawton in Seattle faced segregation and the conflict they felt serving their country abroad while suffering discrimination A project might examine the conflict over women in the military and the conflicts and compromises to which they were subjected as they tried to serve their country There is also much to learn from the conflicts and compromises between men and women who came from different social and racial backgrounds to work in factories in Seattle during World War II What role did the Seattle Civic Unity Committee play in the conflicts between these different groups

Students might be interested in examining the conflicts that led to wars or the compromises that ended the conflicts A paper might be written on the Indian Rebellion that took place in Washington Territory in the 1850s An exhibit might be done on the ldquoPig Warrdquo which dragged on for more than 10 years on San Juan Island with the only casualty being a pig that was shot for foraging in a garden However this conflict ultimately determined the last segment of the border between the United lsquoStates and Canada

What role has religion played in the conflicts How did mistrust and competition between Catholic and Protestant missionaries affect the settlement of the Pacific Northwest and conflicts between native tribes and settlers Has economics played a role in the inability to reach resolution or compromise in events like the 1919 Seattle General Strike which was the only General Strike ever to take place in the United States How do race and class mix with economic concerns in conflicts like the Roslyn Coal Miners Strike or the Anti-Chinese riots that took place in Seattle Tacoma and other cities on the west coast in the late nineteenth century

Economic growth and environmental change often result in conflict such as the one between western farmers and eastern railroad companies in the late nineteenth century How did the economic privations of the Great Depression inspire events like the 1933 Hunger Marches in Olympia

The theme lends itself to a number of topics related to the history of the Constitution since its ratification conflicts that led to incorporating the Bill of Rights conflicts and compromises over constitutional guarantees of civil liberties during wartime How did the theory of the Constitution differ from the outcome of events like the Canwell Committee hearings in the Washington State Legislature in the late 1940s the firing of Tacoma School District social worker Jean Schuddakopf in the 1950s and student protests in the 1960s and 1970s

Some of the most harsh and agonizing conflicts in history encompass social conflict and compromise Have the roles of women and minorities in American society changed as a result of conflicts over ideas such as womenrsquos suffrage African American civil rights Indian fishing rights open housing and school desegregation A project could be focused on the rise of the Ku Klux in the Pacific Northwest in the 1920s the experiences of European Chinese Japanese or Filipino immigrants moving to the Pacific Northwest How do their experiences compare to those of Southeast Asian and Pacific Islander immigrants who came in the late twentieth century How does our view of current Latino Slovak and Asian immigrants who donrsquot speak English compare with the view our ancestors had of Scandinavian immigrants that did not speak English

As with any NHD theme this topic presents students with many fascinating opportunities to explore history and to learn to use a wide range of primary and secondary sources The interpretive challenge is to capture that specific moment in time in which change occurred and explain what impact of that change on history

The Harbor Island ControversyThe Port of Seattle was formed as the first public port district in Washington State by a vote of the citizens of King County in the 1911 general election The new Port Commission took office January 1912 Almost immediately controversy erupted Would the Port of Seattle contract out its shipping and cargo handling functions to a private company like all other public port authorities in the United States at that time or would it administer and run the operations of the Port by itself The outcome of this controversy would define the Portrsquos development over the next 100 years and beyond Ultimately it would also influence how other port authorities throughout Washington and the rest of the country would administer and operate the vital transportation and shipping services

Some Key Historical QuestionsWhy was the Port of Seattle formed by the voters of King County What was the ldquoPort Districts Act of 1911rdquo and why was it important to the development of the Port of Seattle Why was the improvement of Seattlersquos Port facilities so important to the economy of Seattle Puget Sound and Washington state Who are Hiram Chittenden Robert Bridges C E Remsberg R H Thompson George Cotterill Vigil Bogue R F Ayers Charles Fenn Scott Calhoun and ldquoColonel Blethen How did each one of them participate in and affect the outcome of the Harbor Island Controversy Why are Bush Terminals and the ldquoGentlemenrsquos Agreement ldquo important to the is topic How did the Port Commission move forward with the development of its facilities after the Harbor Island Controversy was resolved

Puyallup Indian Tribe Land Claim SettlementOn December 26 1854 62 leaders from Indian tribes in Western Washington signed the Medicine Creek Treaty established boundaries for a number reservations including one for the Puyallup Tribe Over the next century the Tribe would lose ownership over much of land within the reservation Starting in the mid-1970s the Tribe began to assert it rights of ownership over land within the historic boundaries of its reservation After a series of law suits that began in the early 1980s the Puyallup Tribe the Port of Tacoma the Cities of Tacoma Fife and Puyallup entered into a long negotiation that culminated in the comprehensive settlement of the Tribersquos land claims in 1990

Some key historical questionsWhy did this dispute take such a long time to settle How did the Puyallup Tribe benefit from the settlement H ow did the Port of Tacoma City of Tacoma City of Fife City of Puyallup private business and other land owners benefit from the settlement When did the Tribe first start to protest and assert its ownership rights Who are Frank Wright Jr Daniel Inouye Booth Gardner Jim Waldo Silas Cross Henry John Roleen Hargrove Manual Lujan Jr Shirlee Kinney Debbie Joseph Leschi George Boldt Curtiss Napoeon Gerhard Gessell Leo Whitelford and Rod Koon What role did each play in the process and outcome of the final settlement What role did the U S Department of the Interior play Why was the Native Claims Act of 1971 important to this process How did the settlement of the Puyallup Tribersquos land claim reflect the experience of other Indian tribes in the late twentieth century

During the 2017-2018 school year National History Day invites students to research and interpret topics related to the theme Conflict and Compromise in History As is the case each year the theme is broad enough to encourage investigation of topics ranging from local history to world history and from ancient time to the recent past

The theme Conflict and Compromise in History is complex and asks students to view history through multiple perspectives In some cases the conflicts existed without compromise In others compromise was reached before major conflicts ensued In the end some conflicts were averted with compromises like treaties However more often events in history reflect both conflict and compromise Students may choose to focus on a conflict or a compromise but if the topic includes one as well as the other the student needs to address both sides of the theme

To understand the historical importance of their topics students must ask questions of time and place cause and effect change over time and impact and significance They must ask not only when did events happen but why did they happen What factors contributed to their development What was the lasting influence in history How did this topic change the course of events What effect did the event have on the community society nation and world

There are hundreds of topics related to World War II The war effort at home and abroad provides rich research possibilities that students might investigate For example students might analyze Japanese internment as a by-product of conflict that might be unique to a nation of immigrants How did the treatment of Americans and recent immigrants of German or Italian origin compare with that experienced by people of Japanese origin

Or a student may wish to investigate how African American troops particularly at Fort Lawton in Seattle faced segregation and the conflict they felt serving their country abroad while suffering discrimination A project might examine the conflict over women in the military and the conflicts and compromises to which they were subjected as they tried to serve their country There is also much to learn from the conflicts and compromises between men and women who came from different social and racial backgrounds to work in factories in Seattle during World War II What role did the Seattle Civic Unity Committee play in the conflicts between these different groups

Students might be interested in examining the conflicts that led to wars or the compromises that ended the conflicts A paper might be written on the Indian Rebellion that took place in Washington Territory in the 1850s An exhibit might be done on the ldquoPig Warrdquo which dragged on for more than 10 years on San Juan Island with the only casualty being a pig that was shot for foraging in a garden However this conflict ultimately determined the last segment of the border between the United lsquoStates and Canada

What role has religion played in the conflicts How did mistrust and competition between Catholic and Protestant missionaries affect the settlement of the Pacific Northwest and conflicts between native tribes and settlers Has economics played a role in the inability to reach resolution or compromise in events like the 1919 Seattle General Strike which was the only General Strike ever to take place in the United States How do race and class mix with economic concerns in conflicts like the Roslyn Coal Miners Strike or the Anti-Chinese riots that took place in Seattle Tacoma and other cities on the west coast in the late nineteenth century

Economic growth and environmental change often result in conflict such as the one between western farmers and eastern railroad companies in the late nineteenth century How did the economic privations of the Great Depression inspire events like the 1933 Hunger Marches in Olympia

The theme lends itself to a number of topics related to the history of the Constitution since its ratification conflicts that led to incorporating the Bill of Rights conflicts and compromises over constitutional guarantees of civil liberties during wartime How did the theory of the Constitution differ from the outcome of events like the Canwell Committee hearings in the Washington State Legislature in the late 1940s the firing of Tacoma School District social worker Jean Schuddakopf in the 1950s and student protests in the 1960s and 1970s

Some of the most harsh and agonizing conflicts in history encompass social conflict and compromise Have the roles of women and minorities in American society changed as a result of conflicts over ideas such as womenrsquos suffrage African American civil rights Indian fishing rights open housing and school desegregation A project could be focused on the rise of the Ku Klux in the Pacific Northwest in the 1920s the experiences of European Chinese Japanese or Filipino immigrants moving to the Pacific Northwest How do their experiences compare to those of Southeast Asian and Pacific Islander immigrants who came in the late twentieth century How does our view of current Latino Slovak and Asian immigrants who donrsquot speak English compare with the view our ancestors had of Scandinavian immigrants that did not speak English

As with any NHD theme this topic presents students with many fascinating opportunities to explore history and to learn to use a wide range of primary and secondary sources The interpretive challenge is to capture that specific moment in time in which change occurred and explain what impact of that change on history
