The main difference between primary and secondary sources is that **primary sources provide firsthand accounts, while secondary sources analyze or interpret historical events**.
Primary sources are original documents or evidence created at the time of the event being studied, such as diaries, letters, photographs, and official records. Secondary sources, on the other hand, are interpretations or analyses based on primary sources, such as textbooks, articles, and biographies.
