History books tend to portray events in a story-like fashion, leading from one event to another and linking the chain through major scenes and persons. Informational text tends to portray events without the linkages.

For example, history books in the United States will address the lead-up to the Civil War as having 10 interdependent precipitating events. Informational text will describe 10 events that occurred prior to the Civil War, but may not emphasize how each event precipitated the next and how each event led closer and closer to the Civil War.
