Question

Your teacher assigns you a research paper on political changes in the United States during the Civil War. Which source would best aid your research?. A) a textbook chapter discussing Abraham Lincoln’s presidency. B) an atlas showing famous battles and events during the war. C) a book containing the letters of a US senator during the war. D) a phone interview with a famous Civil War political historian

Answer 1

I believe the answer is: C) a book containing the letters of a US senator during the war.

Such letters would be considered as a primary source, which is an artifact, documents, or recordings that is made directly during the time of the event. Other sources beside primary source tend to be mixed up with opinions or even modification form other people unrelated to the events, which make them tend to not represent the truth.

Answer 2

A book containing the letters of a United States senator during the war would be the source that would best aid your research. The correct option among all the options that are given in the question is the third option or option "C". I hope that this is the answer that you were looking for and it has helped you.
