Location of Information

• A historian most probably would have studied this already. Their purpose would have been to study how the GD affected how people voted. Time frame is 1920s-2930s. The information would be found in encyclopedias or history textbooks.
  
• The historian's purpose of writing about this was to see the effects the GD had on the education during that time. This information would be found in articles or short essays as it is quite a narrow topic.
  
• The historians purpose would have been to give the reader insight into the attitudes of the common person during the GD, and possibly go against the governments efforts. This information would probably be found in Zinn's book.
