Historians use various evidence, such as written accounts from primary sources, to attempt to reconstruct and understand the true events of history. Primary source accounts are a type of first-hand evidence made by a person at a specific time. Historians consider these stories to be the closest source to the origin of the idea being studied. When a historian reads The Arrival of a Conquistador in Mexico, 1519-1520 written by Bernal Díaz and The Journal of Christopher Columbus's First Voyage to America written by Christopher Columbus, he can consult both accounts to verify their accuracy and find comparisons when considering the Aztecs. The Aztecs were thought to be disorganized, hostile, and in need of conversion from people who had not participated in the conquest. When Díaz and Cortez wrote these accounts, they proved that this early American society was indeed not related to the ideas listed above, but was actually quite interesting to see. Historians can use these documents to infer that the Aztecs, an early American society, were wrongly categorized and wrongly accused of being uncivilized. It is important for historians to use Díaz's account because it is a manuscript about the Spanish conquest that he himself saw after a biased reading, inaccurate and fabricated stories. Díaz wrote this document for Spain and its people to clarify false statements about indigenous people. It is important to consider your audience because they are the ones supporting the lie. From the beginning, historians can use the manuscript to rule out that early American society was primitive and uncultured. Noting that Díaz participated in all the major events of the Conquest, he described what he saw when he and the other Spaniards began... middle of article......and non-historians use these specific stories to understand the story is better. I would use the accounts of Diaz and Columbus to tell the specifications of this particular part of the story. I believe these texts should be used to conclude that the rumors about the natives were false, and I would use them as a way to tell someone the truth about the Aztecs. These stories provide clear and similar information about these specific natives. Since it is similar and accurate, historians can ultimately use this information in their studies. Although the Aztecs were thought to be disorganized, hostile, and in need of conversion, this was not the case. These accounts proved that this early American society was well established, organized, and prosperous. Historians can use these documents to uncover the true ideas of this early American society..
