Cherokee  removal, part of the trail of tears, refers to the  forced  relocation between 1836 and 1839 of thecherokee  nation from  their lands ingeorgia, south carolina, north carolina, tennessee, texas, and alabama to the indian territory (present day oklahoma)  in  the thenwestern united states, and the resultant deaths

South carolina was so angry about the election of lincoln that they seceded from the union on december 20, 1860. they attacked fort sumter later, on april 12, 1861.

Not sure if it’s within 12 months, but you could talk about the spreading of alt-right hate speech and whether that is covered by the right of freedom of speech? or, cover how during the midterm elections in some states many native american populations were declined to vote because they didn’t have the proper id, despite being citizens? also, the death of that journalist last month, who spoke freely and reported about the saudi government and how corrupted it is and was killed because of that (lack of free press/speech). just some ideas for this prompt, i hope at least one of them : )
