Read the scenario below and answer the question that follows. For history class, Marlena is writing a paper on President Andrew Jackson’s treatment of minorities, namely African Americans and Native Americans. During her research, she finds the archived journal of one of his numerous, African American slaves on his Tennessee plantation. It talks about daily life as a servant and does not speak highly of President Jackson.

What challenges would a researcher consider when deciding to use this source?

A.
The relevance: The journal was written during Andrew Jackson’s presidency and is not modern-day.
B.
The slave’s education: Only scholars and experts should be used as sources in research papers.
C.
The audience: The history teacher may not know this information about Andrew Jackson and might find it upsetting.
D.
The slave’s bias: Though the servant does not think highly of the president, the first-hand account serves as an excellent resource in understanding the president’s treatment and management of a minority, namely his African American slaves.
