evidence of the past to describe past events with accuracy. Historians
play a significant role in our society in the sense that they are the
keepers of the most critical events in the history of his generation and
the previous generation.

of a certain race, state, and country every primary and secondary
source that serve as a relics of the past must have adequately

with the aid of internal and external criticism.
