Answer:
Interpretations differ because they are written for different audiences. Historians select information and when they write they can distort information to make their arguments stronger. Historians change their views when they discover new evidence.

Answer:
Because they were written for different audiences, there are different interpretations. When writing, historians may choose to exaggerate facts in order to strengthen their arguments. When new evidence is found, historians revise their theories.
Explanation:
- According to me, the goal of historical interpretation is to immerse audiences in the past. Most historical interpreters do a good job of dressing historically accurate, allowing visitors to picture the attire and accessories of the past (a Union soldier or a farm worker of the early, pioneer days, etc.) Visualization, however, isn't all that different from paintings presented by famous historical artists without context. Immersion entails adopting the "mindset" of the subject, reflecting his or her opinions, values, etc., while being aware that the subject must be a person from the past who lacks not only the wisdom and technology of the present but also its perspective and objectivity.
- Anyone attempting to complete that task will find it challenging. However, for them to be successful, they must only add a firmament of style and context to that first-person impression, making the experience even more advantageous to the observer. If that is completed, the historical interpreter has completed their task (and desire).
- The way one interprets history is crucial. It is simple to allow your personal biases to influence how you interpret any historical event. A historian is taught to compile primary sources and draw the most accurate conclusions about a historical event. It takes time and the labour of many historians to develop accurate historical perspectives.
