What is a historian trying to understand when examining a historical figures point of view?

History
1 answer:
Allisa [31]3 years ago
3 0

The correct answer is B: when a historian is trying to understand the past by some historical figure's eyes, he/she is trying to identify which factors that person could have taken into account when deciding what to do in their time.

However, the first option (A) is also right: in order to understand what influenced a historical figure, the historian needs to know how that person thought, and felt, and understood the world around her/him.

For example: if a historian is analyzing a historical figure who was religious, he/she has to remember that that person's actions were probably influenced by his/her beliefs. Knowing someone was religious makes it necessary to understand religion as an influencing factor in that person's actions.

How did Santa Anna attempt to escape capture after the Battle of San Jacinto?
sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

Santa Ana was caught on April 22, 1836 (the day after the Battle of San Jacinto). At the beginning of the battle he had disappeared on a horse and was found in the grass dressed as a common soldier. Some people say he was dressed as a woman however this is believed to be a myth. He was brought to Sam Houston, the leader of the Texas military, who had been injured in the ankle by a musket ball. Many Texans wished to see him hanged after what he did at the Alamo and Goliad (there were no Texan survivors at these). Houston decided he should be kept alive so he could sign the Treaties at Velasco, the treaties that would give Texas freedom from Mexico. These treaties also granted Santa Anna life. Because the Texans were so hungry for revenge, Santa Ana was released in the United States. Years later, while Texas was seeking annexation to the United States, Santa Anna became the dictator of Mexico again. He attempted to take Texas back (as Mexico renounced the Treaties at Velasco) however he was unsuccessful. He died in Mexico City, June 21, 1876.

tresset_1 [31]

Answer:  The Catholic Church responded to the challenges of Luther, Calvin, and the Protestant movement initially in a somewhat mild way, allowing Luther to argue his position. When Luther refused to retract his position, his theses were deemed heretical, he was excommunicated, and, after the Diet of Worms, support of Luther was prohibited.
