Both Sources
Analyze the primary sources relevant to your historical event for the presence of bias.
After reading each of my sources, it is evident that my first source is bias free and is attempting only to retell the events that happened during the Stonewell Rebellion. The second source is doing much of the same thing but because it covers the perspective of an individual person, it shows more favor and empathy for those who are in the LGBT community.
Compare how your historical event is represented in your primary sources.
Both sources try and convey the exact happenings of what transpired during the Stonewell Rebellion but unlike the first source, the second source directly recounts the events and feelings

of the individual for which the article was created. Both cover the same things, but the second source more directly talks about how the individual felt during the rebellion. 3
