Why do historians need to be worried about reports with bias in them?
Historians need to be worried about reports with bias in them because they reports do not accurately reflect history. Historians need to take Manny reports into consideration when studying history.
How does historians think?
Historians think in many different ways. Some historians are only interested in who the leaders of a country were, how the country acquired its territory, or what the great battles were. Other historians are interested in the ethnic groups and their migrations, in other words, how that country came to be, and which people live there. And then, some historians are interested in comparing narratives-- how the story of that country is told from a number of different perspectives. There are historians who focus on the role of women, or the role of religion, or the role of minority groups or even the role of the media. Some companies hire historians to preserve the story of what that company has done over the years. So, to understand how historians think, you first need to look at what they think about-- what their special area of interest might be. A historian's job is to preserve the story, to make sure it is told honestly and accurately. As new information becomes available, historians will look at it, and then add it into the story. That is why some history books have many editions-- there may be new information or new perspectives now that were not possible to know years back.
Why should explaining history be left to historians?
I have marked this as a major edit and added the word fallacy to the end of the first contributors answer.Historians Know how to approach history in an unbiased way and look at all the facts instead of leaning one way or another is a fallacy.Historians themselves will admit to being biased. This bias comes out when they "analyze" events they write about. If they had no analysis or a bias to communicate then, as example, the character of say Augustus Caesar, would not be different in the hundreds and hundreds of history books on the first principate of Augustus. The motives of Julius Caesar and the motives of the senators that killed Caesar are subject to debate by historians.Examples of this are monumental. During the Enlightenment in Europe historians who did not give enough credit to Divine Providence were derided.There is a question among historians regarding the US Civil War. Some will put forth a case that based on their research, the War never would have been fought if both sides knew that the cost of lives was over 600,000 soldiers. Some will argue that a compromise would have been worked out.Staying with the Civil War, some will say that General Grant pushed for Sherman's march to the sea in order to end the war as soon as possible. Other historians will say it was pure terror with no other motive.Lincoln's first choice as the commander of the Army of the Potomac was fired because of his inaction, others will say the fact that General McClellan was against the war and therefore wanted to be replaced. McClellan later ran against Lincoln in the election of 1864 as the "peace" candidate.There is a debate among historians as to why Jefferson Davis was not prosecuted for treason at the end of the Civil War. Their opinions are based on their own set of beliefs. The bottomline here is that historians as expected will explain historical events differently. Last example is my favorite. Karl Marx was biased against capitalism and wrote that all of history is based on economics. His explanations are critiqued in different ways based on the bias of another historian.
What do historians research and why?
Historians research past events, people, and societies to better understand how they have shaped the present. By analyzing primary sources and evidence, historians seek to uncover patterns, causes, and effects of historical phenomena, providing insights into human behavior and societal development. Their research helps us learn from the past and make informed decisions for the future.
How do historians build and support their historical arguments?
Historians build and support their historical arguments by conducting extensive research, analyzing primary sources, and engaging with existing historiography. They use evidence to construct a coherent narrative and draw interpretations based on their findings. Additionally, historians explore multiple perspectives and possible explanations to provide a well-rounded argument.
