Explanation

Secondary sources are created after an event and often use evidence from primary sources to interpret what happened and explain its significance. They can therefore provide a more thorough analysis of the event’s impact on history. The sights and sounds of an event and participants’ thoughts or opinions are more directly documented by firsthand sources.
