Archival Research
I've decided to do my second research paper on Thomas Edison and Nikola Tesla and their rivalry between electricity. I chose this topic mainly because my dad said it would be really interesting. You see, my dad is a huge history buff, unlike myself. So I called upon him for help and guidance on this topic. He gave me a lot of good background information and it was between this and the Space Race. So, I chose this instead because it was either having a topic on science and history or just history. I'm not really sure where I'm going with this yet or what argument I'm going to have or really anything about the paper yet. Once I start the research, hopefully something will just pop up and I'll have a steady argument for my paper.

I think that once you find a primary source you'll be able to find an argument from that. Usually those sorts of things really help. The topic is sure to be interesting, especially if you look at it in terms of the "doubles" (or whatever Johnson called them). And there really is a lot of room for debate on who really invented everything. I think you definitely have room for making a good argument.
