Company towns would be a good topic. The best-known one culminated in the Pullman Strike, which happens to be one year outside your time frame.
Slave-state expansionism might be something to cover. This could be Bleeding Kansas, or the cross-border settling of Texas, or even attempts to move to Belize or Brazil.
For something particularly left-coded, you could cover the Trail of Tears, and the broader context of how some of the most compliant and friendly indigenous peoples were expropriated and mass-deported.
Or, idk, listen to a couple episodes of The Dollop to find an idea that sparks excitement.
