Question-How do primary and secondary sources on the same topic work together to develop your understanding of history?

Answer- Primary and secondary sources on the same topic work well together to develop a better understanding in history. Primary and secondary sources work well together by understanding what was in done in that time period for a example a painted picture that is known as a primary source then a essay that was typed this previous year. Basically just letting a reader understanding something that is bias or what actually happened. An example of a topic that primary and secondary sources work together to develop a better understanding of history is Slavery.
