All of the following are examples of secondary sources except: a. a biography of otto von bismarck b. a letter from a soldier who fought in the napoleonic wars c. a world history textbook d. a dvd on the battle of normandy

The correct answer is B) a letter from a soldier who fought in the Napoleonic Wars.

All of the following are examples of secondary sources EXCEPT "a letter from a soldier who fought in the Napoleonic Wars."

A secondary source is based on another source. In this case, the letter was written by a soldier that participated in the war, so it is considered a primary source.

A secondary source could be a book written about the story of that letter, or interviews with scholars that are experts on Napoleon Bonaparte, or articles of magazines about the wars in Europe during the 1800s.

answer: secession

secession, as it applies to the outbreak of the american civil war, comprises the series of events that began on december 20, 1860, and extended through june 8 of the next year when eleven states in the lower and upper south severed their ties with the union. the first seven seceding states of the lower south set up a provisional government at montgomery, alabama. after hostilities began at fort sumter in charleston harbor on april 12, 1861, the border states of virginia, arkansas, tennessee, and north carolina joined the new government, which then moved its capital to richmond, virginia. the union was thus divided approximately on geographic lines. twenty-one northern and border states retained the style and title of the united states, while the eleven slave states adopted the nomenclature of the confederate states of america.
