I need help on a timeline project from 1865-1920?

I need events ranging from 1865-1920 about Wars or Conflicts, Racial relations, important laws, influential inventions, and arts and literature. Thanks for the help. You all are the best.

1. Check wikipedia.com. They usually have all the answers.
2. Here's a list of topics you will definitely want to consider including in your timeline: 1. WWI (1914-1918) 2. Founding of the NAACP, the Niagara Convention, and W.E.B. DuBois (Racial relations) 3. Look into lynching of African-Americans and Ida B. Wells (Racial Relations) 4. Look at Constitutional Amendments there are several in this time period (Blacks AND Women getting the vote etc) 5. Inventions: Cotton Gin, Interchangeable parts (both by Eli Whitney), the Assembly Line, Automobile (both revolutionized/invented by Henry Ford), Telephone, Light Bulb, electricity, etc. etc. 6. Look into Langston Hughes, Zora Neale Hurston, Ernest Hemingway, F. Scott Fitzgerald, etc. for literature. 7. Look into Picasso, etc. for art 8. Look into Jazz music and its musicians (Louis Armstrong for example) for music. Certainly this is not a complete list but it will get you going! Hope that helps!
