Question

Which is NOT a primary source about the American Revolution?

Answer 1

Fictional account of Paul Revere.

Primary sources are documents or other items that actually date from the period you are studying. The Declaration of Independence would be a primary source and George Washington's memoirs would be a primary source. Something like an article about the Declaration of Independence would be considered a secondary source.

Answer 2

A fictional account of Paul Revere is NOT a primary source because the person who wrote it did not experience the event and because it is fiction.
