Primary sources are eyewitness testimonies about historical events produced by people who actually witnessed the event.
Secondary sources are works written by historians based on their study of primary sources.
In this Critical Questions exercise, we will be thinking about how to use secondary sources. Organize your paper around a thesis statement, an argumentative statement you are trying to prove with evidence from primary sources. Your job in the paper is to present evidence and argument which will prove that your thesis is correct. Although you may think that several articles make a good case, you are required to pick ONE article and show why it is the most convincing . Your footnotes may be located either at the bottom of the page or at the end of the paper.
