storians select, interpret and present facts accordingly to their interests and experiences”. It is the historians’ job to uncover the truth about an event free of emotion. The historian however must separate fact in all evidence that is found, even if it a primary source. Historians must use interpretation on everything thing they find. Historical accounts will always contain subjectivity as the writer of history uses their personal influences and write in the context of their time. This is seen in ancient sources, where Tacitius vows to “write without indignation and partisanship” but in writing this he is extremely bias in his accounts of history due to his personal experiences with one-man rule. Even today as history is happening historians are still writing with subjectivity according to their experiences. It is the historian that finds the information and interprets it. If the information they find doesn’t work in their favour they can leave it out. For “Facts speak only when the historian calls on them” JFK – one of the most controversial historical topics today. JFK was a man of many secrets and one main area of debate with Kennedy is his Public and Private life. Kennedy tried to keep both of these lives separate – President and Family Man.
