Which is NOT a primary source about the American Revolution?

Declaration of Independence
George Washington's memoirs
fictional account of Paul Revere

Respuesta :

A fictional account of Paul Revere is NOT a primary source because the person who wrote it did not experience the event and because it is fiction.
Fictional account of Paul Revere.

Primary sources are documents or other items that actually date from the period you are studying. The Declaration of Independence would be a primary source and George Washington's memoirs would be a primary source. Something like an article about the Declaration of Independence would be considered a secondary source.
