Only you can choose your topic. If it's to be argumentative, then you must take a good, strong stand on whatever issue you choose. No wishy-washy stuff! One question that comes to my mind is this: If the English people who landed at Plymouth knew about the Jamestown problems and deaths, why did they try the same thing but in a harsher climate?
Now that's not a topic, but it could lead to one. Also be sure to read this:
