because historical information is something that has happened and can not be changed, therefore having someones opinion is not a bad thing, but you still want to give out the information as is without having your opinion on it

Answer:

Historians have to be very careful while writing about any historical event because biased source is not always truthful and considered inaccurate.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • The main concern for all the historians has been to documents and collect all the data and facts about the human past and even discover new facts related to it.
  • Bias is like telling a story in a way that only benefits your point of view without concerning all facts related to that historical event.
  • Historians have known that the information they have is incomplete.
  • Or maybe partially completed or may be biased and that is why they required more attention.
