page 61 questions 1-6

1. historians use primary sources and secondary sources to learn about the past. Primary sources are more valuble and usefull to the historians beacuse the authour was a witness or expirienced what happened during the time. Meanwhile secondary sources is someone who heard the story and retold it. Some information from secondary sources are not as clear as primary sources.



2. The map is a secondary source because the authour of it wasnt there to witness and the map might not be very accurate. It is a secondary source because the authour was not there to draw it, it was probably not drawn at the same time which also proves it as a secondary source.

3. Historians want to know more information about the subject. The historian need to find out as much as they can about the subject to know more and reveal new things. The more questions they think of the more answers they get and find out more things.

4. The historians will know more about the mens daily life then the womens. This can make things very difficult for historians because there is always 2 sides of a story. For historians its easier to understant the life of men than women.
