A.)The way the events have been fictionalized
B.)The historian’s personal bias toward Native Americans
C.)The language the historian uses
D.)The time period during which the historian is writing
- D.) Correct. There are numerous factors that should influence how historians view historical events. The time period in which a historian is writing is one of them. Even though objectivity is the goal of the historian, it is impossible to fully separate the historian’s own social and cultural environment from their interpretations of the past. That is why our understanding of history changes over time.
