1. External and Internal Evidence

When interpreting historical data, why is it important to look at both external and internal evidence? Cite a case of a historical event that has been interpreted differently either by two sources at the time of the event or by common opinion in different eras.

Discuss how external and internal evidence influenced these interpretations

2. Beginning a Historical Research Paper

As you read in chapter seven, the approach for writing a historical research paper differs from a traditional research paper, especially when it comes to the introduction.

Using a historical topic of your choosing, write an appropriate 200-wordintroduction, using background information supported by scholarly sources, for a historical research paper. Your essay should strictly follow APA formatting, citation, and style guidelines.
