1763 huh? How about disproving the "Dunning School" arguement that white Northerners that came to the South during reconstruction were all Carpetbaggers who came with their black pawns to loot, pillage, and exploit the decent, good, and noble white southerners.

Or you could do something on Southern Violence and Lynching in the country during that time period. Infinite information on that. Something like 4,700+ known lynchings between Presidential Reconstruction and 1968. And this isn't just in the South. This happened in places like Ohio and Illinois as well. Ida Wells was a black investigative reporter that worked in the 1870-90s by taking information from Southern newspapes. During Democratic rule, white supremacy ran rampant. Southern newspaper would actually advertise lynchings, and sometimes thousands of spectators would come. People would take pictures and send postcards of the hanging burned and contorted bodies, usually with them standing next to it with a cute caption like "We had a barbeque last night." In Georgia, an ad was run in newspapers for a train ride to an upcoming lynching of a black man, and box lunches would be provided. During lynchings, it was not uncommon for churches and schools to close for people to attend. When they dismembered the victim before killing them, they usually handed out fingers/eyes/genitals as party favors. And it goes on and on and on.

Or if you don't know what I'm talking about though, don't bother.
