have been made by experts in their field based on current research.

24. Why do some people remain hidden to history, and how can they be included?
Sample Answer: They remain hidden because few records talk about their lives and
experiences. Historians can use sources like church records, newspapers, and court hearings to
illuminate the lives of the poor and illiterate. Court hearings were one venue in which the
words of people from all backgrounds were recorded as they served as witnesses and as
accused. Mothers and fathers also sought out those who could write letters for them to get
pardons for loved ones convicted of crimes. These kinds of sources shed light on those whose
voices were rarely heard, either while they lived or after they died.

Difficulty: Difficult

25. What happened to Indigenous records in Latin America?
Sample Answer: In the case of Latin America, the historical record was significantly altered
when the Europeans arrived. Believing that much of the writing of Indigenous people that they
found spoke of a religion and culture they meant to replace, the conquerors deliberately
destroyed it.

Difficulty: Difficult

26. What was Romanticism, and how did it change culture?
Sample Answer: The Romantics believed there was greatness in everyday life. Even a small
flower was worthy of a poem, and the plight of a lowly squire was as important as the worries
of the great lord of the manor, for both were essential actors in the human experience. The
advent of Romantic art, poetry, music, and novels paved the way for a broad reexamination of
what was worth knowing and studying.

Difficulty: Moderate

27. What are social constructs?
Sample Answer: These are ideas that have been created and accepted by the people in a
society, such as the concepts of class distinction and gender. Social constructs influence the
ways people think and behave.

Difficulty: Difficult

28. What is intellectual history?
Sample Answer: Intellectual history looks at the ideas that drive people to make certain choices
and focuses on philosophical questions and the history of human thought.

Difficulty: Moderate

29. What is historical empathy, and why is it important?
Sample Answer: It is the ability to meet the past on its own terms and without judgment or the
imposition of our own modern-day attitudes. To fully embrace the study of the past, the
student of history must be able to set aside the assumptions of the modern era. Everyone has a
set of biases, generated by the people who influence our lives and the experiences that shape
who we become. Historians must spend the time necessary to investigate these biases and
understand how they affect their interpretations.

Difficulty: Difficult

30. What role does bias play in historians’ work?
Sample Answer: Historians, particularly those trained in recent times, work to eliminate as
much bias as they can, but we cannot wholly disconnect ourselves from our environment and
beliefs. Bias can even sometimes act as a positive force, allowing us to look at the past in new
ways. For example, historians in the 1960s and 1970s began to question their discipline’s
traditional focus on elites and sought out new sources that highlight the lives of more ordinary
people. Driven by a bias in favor of the counterculture and politics of the era, they wanted to
know more about what all people experienced.

Difficulty: Difficult

31. What did Chinua Achebe write about?
Sample Answer: He wrote about the impact of British missionary work in Nigeria. His writing
speaks to both the historic legacy of colonialism and the need for people to see themselves
independently and then in relation to others.

Difficulty: Moderate

32. Select an event in history and evaluate the spark, the surrounding issues, and the overall
process of motivation, referring to the three identified levels of causation.
Sample Answer: The response would need to identify what is believed to be the primary, then
the secondary, and finally the tertiary levels of causation.

Difficulty: Difficult


Long Answer Questions

about a source?

Difficulty: Easy

34. How might different schools of historical thought approach the study of Latin America from
the period of European conquest through the independence movements of the 1820s?
Sample Answer:
- The progressive historian might explore the growth of democratic legal systems or
people’s increased interest in republican forms of government.
- The intellectual historian might consider the Indigenous literature and philosophy of
the period.
- The social historian would look at, for instance, what conquered people ate, how
they worked, and what they looked for in marriage partners.
- A Marxist historian would examine unfair labor practices and moments of class
conflict like rebellion or riot.
- The gender historian would focus on the role that social constructs of gender played
in the lives of people in the past.

racism and poverty, remain influential after independence.

territories.

- One can observe how the Hagia Sofia looks and operates today.
