Sources of History
President Bush allowed the widow of a Marine killed in Iraq, Mary Holt, to punch him once in the left arm as a gesture of apology for her husband's death. The punch was delivered in the Oval Office with no boxing gloves or running start. White House Press Secretary Dana Perino later explained the stipulations of the punch, and said the president would have let Mrs. Holt punch his other arm if it wasn't still sore from a previous punch from a young girl. After delivering the blow, Mrs. Holt reportedly suffered massive internal bleeding when five Secret Service agents tackled her to the ground.

Why study history
History gives people a sense of identity and understanding of human nature, but it is not completely objective because it is interpreted through the biases of both eyewitnesses and historians. To establish the truth, historians consider factors like the source and motivation of primary accounts, and whether multiple independent sources agree. While perfect objectivity is impossible, recognizing potential biases helps historians compensate and establish the most reliable narrative.
History
The document discusses various perspectives on the nature of history through quotes attributed to historical figures. It then addresses how history is defined, including facts that are agreed upon versus historians' interpretations. The rest of the document covers eyewitness accounts of history, debates around what makes an event historically significant, perspectives on the importance and uses of history, and challenges that historians face in accurately reconstructing and analyzing past events.

Seeley said history is past politics and politics is present history.
History as a discipline

What is History
The document discusses the relationship between historians, facts, and historical interpretation. It argues that historians do not objectively record the past but rather selectively evaluate facts based on insights from the present. The facts that historians examine are like fish in the ocean that depend on where the historian chooses to fish and what tackle they use. As a result, historians will find the kinds of facts they want, and interpretation is essential to the writing of history.
What is History?
This document discusses what history is and why it is important to study. It defines history as a branch of knowledge that records and explains past events. Key reasons to study history include: to understand the roots of our current culture, learn from past mistakes, examine trends that repeat throughout history, learn historical facts, and understand how society has been shaped over time.

The overall message is that history is a complex subject that involves investigating the past from different angles and interpretations.
What is history?
This document discusses the study of history and the process historians use to understand and interpret past events. It explains that historians look at documents and artifacts from the past to piece together narratives of what happened.

3) A civilization is an advanced culture characterized by agriculture, urban life, specialized labor, writing, and complex political, military, social and religious structures.
Historians power point year 7
Historians investigate the past through studying primary and secondary sources as evidence to support their interpretations. Primary sources were created close in time and space to the events, while secondary sources are later analyses and interpretations. Historians also study the history of how the past has been represented over time (historiography) and in different cultures (reception). They ask questions to evaluate sources like who, what, when, where, why as well as considering the origin, motive, audience, date, bias and reliability of the information.
Importance of history
The document discusses the importance of studying history. Studying history helps one understand why their current environment and situations exist by providing context about their ancestors, culture, and society. It also allows people to learn from the mistakes and successes of the past to build a better future. Additionally, studying history preserves the ideas and discoveries of influential historical figures and prevents important knowledge from being lost. Understanding history provides the foundation for studying many modern subjects and allows societies to develop more efficiently by learning from the governing practices of the past.
Historiography presentation
The document discusses the challenges of studying history objectively. It uses a hypothetical example of candidates for world leader to illustrate how the selection and omission of facts can influence opinions. While the third candidate seems most moral, they are revealed to be Adolf Hitler. The document argues historians must consider their own biases, be aware not all evidence may be available, and how facts can be selectively presented to shape historical understanding for political purposes.

What is History?
History is a record of the past that can be pieced together through various sources such as memories, first-hand accounts, artifacts, and myths. However, the telling and interpretation of history can be subjective and distorted based on the viewpoint of the teller or discoveries being made over time in bits and pieces. Ultimately, history remains partially unknown and open to interpretation.
World History Overview
IS HISTORY RELIABLE?
History always has been deeply politicized and has always followed the order of rulers.
No wonder there is a saying that winners write history.
It is especially annoying that after the time of those who write and rewrite history is gone, we are left with a shamelessly distorted history, and generation after generation, piles up lies on lies.
Of course, working with primary sources partially solves the problem of these lies, but the fact is that those who rewrite history at the same time eliminate, or at least permanently “lose” the sources that are objectionable to them, hiding them so that no one can find them.
The main enemy of history is interpretation, and without some sort of interpretation it is impossible to tell about a single historical episode, since the very selection of facts depends on the historian.
In addition, human memory is poorly adapted to an unbiased memorization of facts. Iven witness accounts most often do not include a description of what happened, but the interpretation that the witness gives to an event.
Therefore, unintentionally, any historical event is distorted even by its direct witnesses. The true historic situation is hardly accessible for objective study. Even at the very moment of the event, few are aware of what is really happening.
In addition to everything, any generalization and comparison of some historical events with others leads to even greater distortion.
But, unfortunately, we have no other source than historical facts for discussing the philosophy of world politics and its evolution. What has changed and what remains the same? Where is the world going? Is there any truth to conspiracy?
These issues concern us because everyone knows that world disasters can ruin our lives and the lives of our children and grandchildren. The fact of the matter is that there are not so many prosperous countries in the world whose inhabitants frankly do not give a damn about world processes. And such seemingly calm countries periodically break into the depths of economic crises, terror and even wars.
That is why history is not an idle pursuit at all. This is dynamite, which is often put under our lives. Under the guise of restoring historical justice, a lot of blood and bitter tears are shed.
Why Study History
The document discusses reasons for studying history, including to understand the present and prepare for the future, provide moral lessons, foster personal growth, and understand people and events in context. It also outlines the four roles of historians as investigators of the past, storytellers, judges making moral evaluations, and reflectors who speculate on lessons and future implications. Studying history provides a sense of identity and understanding at personal, community, and national levels.
Yr 8 industrial rev homework 5 and 6
This document is a history homework booklet from Term 6 of Key Stage 3 (Year 8) on the topic of living conditions during the Industrial Revolution. The tasks involve investigating sources about the cholera epidemic during this period. Source 1 is a cartoon from 1850 depicting cholera. Students are asked questions to analyze what the source shows and what it suggests about water at the time. Source 2 is an eyewitness account from 1849 describing the filthy water people used. Students are asked to evaluate the source and consider what will happen to the boys bathing in the contaminated river water. The booklet provides feedback on the student's work, noting strengths and areas for improvement in analyzing and explaining judgments of the sources.
Primary & secondary sources with lecture
The document discusses classifying primary and secondary sources for history research. It defines primary sources as artifacts or eyewitness accounts created during the time period studied, while secondary sources are accounts written after the events by non-eyewitnesses. However, determining if a source is primary or secondary depends on the specific historical inquiry. The document also notes challenges students may face in classifying certain sources and the importance of using multiple sources to understand historical events.
Chapter1section3toolsofhistory 110809134731-phpapp01
The document discusses different types of historical sources including primary sources like eyewitness accounts, letters, diaries, and artifacts as well as secondary sources like textbooks and articles written by historians. It emphasizes the importance of evaluating sources for authenticity, bias, and perspective to get an accurate understanding of history. Historians must consider things like the time period a source was created, its author's point of view, and whether new evidence may change interpretations over time. Artifacts found in archaeological sites can provide insights into past cultures.

They must then write 3 critical thinking questions about the fact and provide researched answers to each question in paragraph form. Students are to cite sources using APA, MLA, or Chicago style and include a bibliography. The goal is for students to develop an internal dialogue while reading and to teach their classmates about an interesting fact they learned.
Readings-in-Phil.-History-CHAPTER-1-2.pptx
The document provides an overview of how to analyze primary sources in Philippine history. It discusses that primary sources provide direct evidence from the time period being studied, while secondary sources are interpretations of primary sources created later. The document outlines six steps to effectively analyze primary sources: identify the main idea, cite the creator and time of creation, identify author biases, understand the historical context, recognize connections to prior knowledge, and determine the source's contributions to understanding history. Analyzing sources involves considering the physical nature, purpose, methods of conveying messages, and intended audience.
Intro to History_Historical Method.pptx
History enables one to deal with the challenges and opportunities of the current and somewhere in the future by assisting one in comprehending the tremendous complexity of our world. We gain a feeling of ourselves from history. It's important for people to become aware of their common history. I believe that we are who we are today because of prior events. Insight into the civic and daily lives of the Filipino people as well as one's own civic lives can be gained by studying the history. The Philippines is not the only country that has this problem; other countries also do. We study about history to see the origins and growth of the Philippines via its history. Our sense of nationality is bolstered by it.

Reading primary sources: An
introduction for students
BY KATHRYN WALBERT
Primary sources are sources that were created during the historical period that you are
studying. Just about anything that existed or was created during that time period can count
as a primary source — a speech, census records, a newspaper, a letter, a diary entry, a song,
a painting, a photograph, a film, an article of clothing, a building, a landscape, etc. Primary
sources are documents, objects, and other sources that provide us with a first-hand account
of what life was like in the past.
Determining what is a primary source and what isn’t can get tricky — what do you do,
for example, with a recent recording of your aunt talking about her experiences during the
Civil Rights Movement? It wasn’t created at the time, but it’s still a first-hand account.
Eyewitness accounts like oral history interviews and memoirs or autobiographies, even
those recorded recently, are considered primary sources because the memories that
eyewitnesses reveal in those sources were created in that historical time period, even if
those memories were not talked about or formally recorded until much later.
It can get even trickier. The movie Gone With The Wind is not a primary source about
the Civil War and Reconstruction, even though it is a movie about that time period. It
wasn’t created during that time period and it is purely a work of fiction and therefore it
can’t provide us with any credible information about that era. It could, however, be used as
a primary source for the Great Depression since the movie and the book on which it was
based were both produced during that period. A fictional film produced in 1930s can tell us
nothing credible about the 1860s, but it could certainly tell us a lot about what people were
interested in during the 1930s — their fantasy world, their dreams, their view of history,
and their tastes in film. If you were writing a paper about American culture in the
Depression, this would be an excellent primary source, but for a paper about slavery, it
would be horrible!

Why bother reading primary sources anyway?
Because they are first-hand accounts of life in the past, created during the time period that
you are interested in, primary sources provide you with windows into the past — a chance
to catch a glimpse at the world you’re trying to understand through the words, pictures,
artwork, and objects of the people who lived in it. This window is especially important for
historians because, unlike other scholars who study people and societies such as
psychologists, sociologists, or anthropologists, historians can ...
Bias In History
Here are a few key points about public history based on the information provided:
- Public history describes the many ways that history is applied and communicated to the public, outside of traditional academic settings. It focuses on making history relevant and accessible to non-academic audiences.
- Public historians work in places like museums, archives, historic sites, and for organizations like the National Park Service. They engage the public through exhibits, oral histories, photographs, and other interactive mediums.
- The goal of public history is to address a wide variety of historical issues and present them to broad audiences. It emphasizes communication and engaging the public, rather than just research and analysis.
- Public historians facilitate an interactive process where they get input
History of of Ethiopia and the Horn (Hist.1012)
This document provides an overview of the history and uses of history as an academic discipline, as well as the historiography of Ethiopia and the Horn of Africa. It discusses:
1. The nature of history as an organized study of the past based on credible sources, with the goal of understanding human societies and their interactions over time.
2. The major contributions of early Greek, Chinese, and European historians to establishing history as a formal area of inquiry.

1) Native Americans first arrived in North America around 12,000 years ago via the Bering Strait land bridge between Asia and Alaska.
2) European powers colonized different regions - Spain colonized the Southwest US and Mexico, France explored the Mississippi River region, and Britain established 13 colonies along the East Coast.
3) Through the American Revolution, Louisiana Purchase from France, Mexican Revolution, and negotiations, the borders of the US expanded to the West while Native Americans were pushed onto reservations.
Prelude to civil rights in mississippi
The document summarizes the social and political climate in Mississippi from the Great Depression through the 1950s that set the stage for the civil rights movement. It discusses how the Depression devastated the state's economy and disproportionately impacted African Americans. World War II and related industries provided economic opportunities. President Truman supported civil rights, alienating Southern Democrats who formed the Dixiecrats. The 1954 Brown v. Board decision found segregated schools unconstitutional, sparking massive resistance from whites in Mississippi. The brutal 1955 murder of Emmett Till drew national attention to racial violence in the state. Lynchings were also common. African American leaders emerged to advocate for civil rights amid this deeply entrenched racism.

Chapter 5 ms studies 2014
During the antebellum period between 1812-1860, sectionalism developed between the North and South as their ways of life diverged. The South's economy was based on cotton and slavery, while the North's relied on manufacturing. Issues like the tariff and the expansion of slavery divided the regions. Mississippi became the heart of the cotton kingdom due to innovations like the cotton gin. By 1860, slavery was an entrenched institution in Mississippi, defended on economic, religious, and racial grounds. When Lincoln was elected as an anti-slavery candidate, Mississippi seceded, believing states had the right to leave the Union.
Reconstruction
The document summarizes key events and policies during the Reconstruction era following the American Civil War. It outlines Lincoln's 10% Plan for Reconstruction, the more radical Wade-Davis Bill, and Johnson's plans as Lincoln's successor. Congress passed the 14th Amendment and implemented Radical Reconstruction. The rise of groups like the Ku Klux Klan opposed African American civil rights. Reconstruction ended in 1877 as federal troops withdrew from the South. Segregation and disenfranchisement policies replaced the civil rights gains of Reconstruction.
Events preceding the civil war(2325764)
The document summarizes key events that increased tensions between the North and South leading up to the Civil War, including westward expansion, debates over the spread of slavery to new territories, the passage of fugitive slave laws, the Dred Scott decision, the emergence of the Republican Party, and John Brown's raid. Ultimately, Abraham Lincoln's election in 1860 prompted several Southern states to secede and form the Confederate States of America, marking the start of hostilities when Confederate forces fired on Fort Sumter in South Carolina in 1861.
Chapter 9 jefferson
This document provides a summary of Thomas Jefferson's presidency and key events during that time period including:
- Jefferson reduced the size of government and got rid of the Sedition Act as part of his "Revolution of 1800"
- The Supreme Court case Marbury v. Madison established the principle of judicial review
- The Lewis and Clark Expedition explored the western territories of North America with Sacagawea as an important guide
- The Embargo Act of 1807 was passed in response to British and French interference with American shipping
The presidency of john adams
The XYZ Affair involved failed negotiations between the U.S. and France, where French diplomats demanded a bribe and loan before negotiating. This angered the American public against France. In response, President Adams avoided war but increased military spending. He also signed the controversial Alien and Sedition Acts, allowing deportation of immigrants and imprisonment of government critics. Republicans like Jefferson and Madison opposed these laws as unconstitutional, laying the foundation for states' rights debates.
Troubles at home and abroad
The document summarizes conflicts in the Northwest territory and between France and Britain in the late 18th century, and the American response under President Washington. British forces occupied forts in the Ohio Valley and armed Native American tribes, who attacked settlers north of the Ohio River. General Anthony Wayne defeated the tribes at the Battle of Fallen Timbers, leading to the Treaty of Greenville that opened Ohio to settlers. The French Revolution began with popular revolt but descended into the bloody Reign of Terror. Though Jefferson supported the revolution, Washington declared American neutrality as France and Britain went to war, though both sides interfered with American shipping. The Jay Treaty resolved some issues with Britain but not others. Washington warned against partisan divisions and permanent
The birth of political parties
1) After the American Revolution, political factions formed between Alexander Hamilton's Federalists and Thomas Jefferson's Republicans over how to interpret the new Constitution and economic policies.
2) The Federalists supported a strong federal government, protective tariffs, and a national bank while the Republicans favored states' rights, farming, and strict interpretation of the Constitution.
3) In the 1796 election, John Adams and the Federalists won the presidency while Thomas Jefferson and the Republicans won the vice presidency due to the electoral process at the time before the 12th Amendment.
Launching a new nation
This document discusses key aspects of Alexander Hamilton's plan to establish the national bank and financial system of the early United States. It describes Hamilton's proposals to have the federal government assume states' Revolutionary War debts, create the first Bank of the United States, and impose taxes on imports. It also discusses disagreements between Hamilton and Madison over state debts and between Hamilton and Jefferson over the constitutionality of the national bank.
Road to Revolution Timelin
Britain gained control of lands east of the Mississippi River except for New Orleans after the Treaty of Paris in 1763. The Proclamation of 1763 prohibited colonists from settling west of the Appalachian Mountains. A series of laws imposed by Britain and acts of colonial protest in the 1760s and early 1770s increased tensions between Britain and its American colonies and moved the colonies toward revolution.

The document summarizes a 1766 satirical print by Benjamin Wilson depicting a funeral for the Stamp Act. The print shows the remains of the Act in a coffin being carried by mourners including Lord Grenville, who introduced the Act. Ships in the background are named after Parliamentary figures who led the campaign for its repeal and are ready to transport embargoed goods to the American colonies now that the Act has been repealed.
French and indian war
1. Captain Knox describes differences in fighting styles between the French and British during the French and Indian War.
2. The French troops would make loud shouts and noises when engaging the enemy, which Knox saw as absurd, while the British troops remained silent and disciplined, reserving their fire until the optimal time.
3. Knox asserts that the British approach, being steady, silent, and attentive, allowed them to gain superiority over opponents in battle.
Chapter 4 section 4 2013
This document discusses the history of education in colonial America. It describes how Massachusetts was the first colony to have public schools, which were funded both publicly and privately. It also discusses how education differed between the northern and southern colonies, with the north having higher levels of literacy. Colonial schools taught subjects like religion, reading, writing and arithmetic using primers and hornbooks. The first colleges, like Harvard, were formed initially to educate ministers. The document also summarizes the impacts and key figures of the Great Awakening religious revival and the Enlightenment period of philosophy.
Chapter 4 section 3 2013
The document summarizes the history of slavery in the colonies from the Atlantic slave trade through its establishment and resistance. It discusses how approximately 10 million slaves were brought to the Americas over 300 years through the triangular trade route. Slavery took root in the colonies as the plantation system profited from slave labor and indentured servants were temporary. Laws were passed in the colonies in the 1600s that established slavery as a lifelong condition and restricted slaves' rights. Several slave revolts occurred, leading colonies to enact slave codes with harsher punishments and restrictions to control the enslaved population. African cultural influences persisted more on large plantations where slaves had less interaction with whites.
Chapter 4 section 2 2013
Colonial families had different structures depending on whether they lived on farms or in cities. On farms, extended families worked together and everyone had responsibilities. In cities, it was easier to live alone as a single person in a boarding house or as a servant. Men had authority over the household and women were expected to marry for economic and religious reasons rather than love, taking on domestic duties. Children also had household responsibilities from a young age. Colonial society was stratified, with social class determined mainly by land ownership. The upper class included wealthy landowners while the middle class comprised farmers and artisans. Indentured servants contracted their labor temporarily in exchange for passage to America.

Chapter 1 section 3 tools of history
- 1. Tools of History: Chapter 1 Section 3
- 2. Primary Sources Firsthand information Court documents Speeches Eyewitness accounts Letters Diaries Autobiographies Personal interviews
- 3. Evidence of Primary Sources Could possibly be: Written Oral A photo A video An historic map Museum artifacts
- 4. Secondary Sources Account provided after the fact by someone who was not actually there…usually based on primary sources Textbooks Encyclopedias Biographies Articles/blogs written by historians Museum interpretations
- 5. Evaluating a source for reliability Is it authentic- is it truthful? Is it what it claims to be? Is it a primary source? Is it actually from the time period? Who is giving the information? What is his/her point of view? Would that person or organization have a particular bias? You can get flawed information if you do not check your sources!
- 6. Some helpful hints for avoiding bad sources Do NOT use wikipedia!!! EVER! Look for .edu at the end of a web address. It may not be 100% accurate, but it is probably a worthy source. Check the time frame of what you are studying. Let’s say you are studying the Civil War. Someone who is living today can not be an eyewitness to Civil War history, but he or she may have collected many primary source documents to tell the story. Some people are known for their research of certain time periods. Shelby Foote is a good example of an expert in researching history.
- 7. Some helpful hints for avoiding bad sources “And I really do think that the difficulty of research makes it more real to you than punching a thing to find out how many men were killed at this particular action.”Shelby Foote
- 8. Some helpful hints for avoiding bad sources Watch for bias! Does the writer use wording that shows a particular bias about a person or event? Differing political, social, or economic viewpoints may give different sides of an event. “History is written by the victors.” Winston Churchill Would your textbook be different if it were written by British authors?
- 9. Look for history in lots of places! Cooking utensils Catalogs Children’s books Almanacs Old photos Farming utensils Office tools Even graveyards!
- 10. Can history be changed? No, but our interpretations sometimes change, or maybe we get new evidence. Can you think of any examples in which most people thought a certain way about an event or person, but their perceptions changed? Why did this change happen?
- 11. Archaeological evidence Archaeologists study artifacts, the objects that humans have made. For instance they might dig in a kitchen midden, an area outside where a family used to prepare and eat meals. Layers of soil and rock which have mounted atop the area have much to reveal about the culture of the people. We usually think of middens to examine prehistoric people, but we can use them for more recent history, also. What kinds of things did they eat? What kinds of tools did they use to cook? What eating utensils did they use? What does the evidence tell us?
- 12. Chronology Absolute Chronology The EXACT time and place of an event Relative Chronology When an event occurred in relationship to other events. This helps to establish correlations between events, cause and effect, or even lack of a connection between events. Think of the book If You Give a Mouse a Cookie, and you have the idea of cause and effect.
