The Gilded Age — Test

Question 3 • US History

Gustavo wants to include primary sources to support his claim about the Industrial Revolution. Which sources should he use? Choose three correct answers.

Answer
A
the journal of a factory worker who worked during the Industrial Revolution
B
a textbook covering factory practices during the Industrial Revolution
C
a speech given by an Industrial Revolution-era labor organizer
D
a magazine article written by an expert on the Industrial Revolution
E
an essay on the Industrial Revolution written by a historian
F
an original photograph taken at an Industrial Revolution-era factory

Explanation

Primary sources come directly from the time being studied or from people who experienced it. A factory worker’s journal and a labor organizer’s speech were created during the Industrial Revolution, and an original photograph of a factory from that era is direct visual evidence. Textbooks, expert magazine articles, and historians’ essays are later interpretations, so they are secondary sources.
