Compare an contrast the people and economies of the south and northeast regions of the united states.

One key difference between the people can be the culture based on immigration origin. Most people in the south originate from colonies that used to be Spanish so there's a lot of Spanish cultural influence and Mexican while northerners are mostly of Germanic origin. One difference in economy is for example agricultural. Northern parts have harsher climate so things like tobacco can't grow as successfully while southerners have very dry and hot lands where you don't have dense coniferous forests.

It is useful for historians to write narratives so that history can be passed on from their point of view.  think about a story being told in third person, then think about it again being told in first person, by someone who actually experienced the event.
