History

olganol [36]3 years ago

Answer:  The correct answer is: Because some sources are more reliable than others and each one may be biased, historians read with distrust and check the sources against other evidence. Primary sources must be analyzed with critical thinking to obtain a very accurate historical record. The records that are created simultaneously with what happened in an event or as close as possible to it, are more reliable and more accurate than the records that are created long after, perhaps years, after the event occurred.

Why didn’t the code noir work in Haiti?
beks73 [17]
Code Noir was set by the French to help them regulate slavery and punishment. The Code required people that were colonized to provide food every week to the French. However, in Haiti, it did not function well as the people could only provide water and potatoes to the French. Also, the fact that the average lifespan of the "slaves" in Haiti was just 7 years didn't help the cause.
