History: The analysis and interpretation of the past. (How we explain the past)
Can two people have different histories of the same event?
Think of it as, “His story”

Why?
History is more than just facts.

How do we learn about history?
• Primary Sources: A written document or physical object that was written or created during the time under study.
• Why they’re useful: They give us a perspective into the time period they were made – let us see the world through the eyes of the past.
• Why they’re imperfect: They are biased; only tell one side of the story.

How else do we learn about history?
• Secondary Sources: A secondary source describes, interprets and analyzes primary sources.
• Why they’re useful: They summarize historical events, present both sides of the story, and have the power of hindsight (know how things played out).
• Why they’re imperfect: They don’t have the historical perspective of primary sources.
