In order for any article or book on history–including your textbook–to be written, the author must use primary sources. These are the direct evidence, the building blocks of history, which allow us to write about what happened in the past, and why it happened. If an historian were going to write about the world trade center bombing in 2001, would the Declaration of Independence [which IS a primary source for SOME U.S. history] be a primary source? Of course not. It gives NO evidence on the world trade center bombing. Look in your textbook or in online google searches for suggestions of primary sources to respond to the assignment questions below. But do not give a website or hyperlink for your source without citing and explaining the source.
1. What would be direct evidence/a specific primary source for the founding of the first penal colony in Australia?
2. What would be direct evidence/a specific primary source for the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan?
3. What would be a specific primary source for the founding of the Golden Gate Bridge?
