from uprisings and resistance movements in the Americas.
Describe a primary source.
What is it? Who wrote/created it?
A primary source is an original piece of evidence or material that provides firsthand information about a particular event, topic, or time period. It can be anything that was created or written during the time being studied or by someone directly involved in the events.
For example, if we consider uprisings and resistance movements in the Americas, a primary source could be a letter written by a leader of a rebellion, a diary entry by a participant in an uprising, a political pamphlet advocating for resistance, or a newspaper article reporting on the events of a protest.
In terms of who wrote or created a primary source, it could be an individual who directly experienced or witnessed the events being discussed. It could be a rebel leader or a member of a resistance movement, a political figure, a journalist, or a regular citizen who documented their experiences or opinions.
The key aspect of a primary source is that it is a contemporary document or artifact, created at the time of the events under study or by someone with firsthand knowledge. It provides immediate or direct evidence of the thoughts, experiences, and actions of individuals involved in the uprisings and resistance movements in the Americas.
