analysis
The primary source is an official government record. However,
analysis of the document reveals that there are important historical
truths that were overlooked; selectiveness of information can be
found in the document; politics and biases of the victors heavily
affected the making of the document.
Overlooked historical truths:
Land or Agrarian Crisis
Philippine Revolution as an Agrarian Revolution
KKK as a pioneer of the revolutionary movement
Bonifacio and his co-founders
