Is thomas paine trustworthy as a reporter of historical events? explain.

No. Thomas Paine is known for two major terms: criticism and passion. His fame rose because he was a very passionate advocate of anti-slavery, world peace, and social security for the elderly and the poor. However, later in life he became anti-church which made him so unpopular. All these attributes of Paine made him obviously partisan. He could not be considered objective or neutral; thus, his rendition of historical events may be tainted by his political leaning and convictions.

here are some major conflicts i found. maybe pick one and do more research on it. (cause i ain't writing 6 paragraphs)

in 1877, the nez perce war took place.

1881 - president james garfield was assassinated.

1882 - the chinese exclusion act was passed.

1883 - a decision in the civil rights cases legalized racial segregation in the united states.

1887 - the dawes act was passed.

1893 - the panic of 1893 took place. (what a creative name)

and there are probably other topics you can find if you just search up "united states timeline," or "conflicts in the 19th century for america."

then once you find a topic you like find out how it affected the people of america and what not. (sorry if this feels a bit short changed, history was and never will be one of my strong topics)
