27 Lesson Summary The word ‘history’ has two meanings.
“History” can mean events that happened in the past. “History” can also mean an account of events in the past. An account of the past includes the selection of specific events and the interpretation of those events. Historians select from events of the past and interpret their meaning to create historical accounts.
