Q1A)
The provenance of the source was from a guardian archive,hence,it proves that the source is neutral as it is neither from the Catholic or the Protestants.
The source shows me that people are fighting at each other and yes,the British soldiers were the victims of the riots as the picture shows soldiers that were injured and wounded due to the throwing of stones and rioting against the Northern Ireland Civil Rights Association,NICRA,as they was in bad terms and against them.The NICRA was against the British soldiers as the British soldiers was given every rights to detain and arrest people without investigating who they think might be involved in terrorist activities,this are biased towards the members of NICRA.
Hence,this Source is reliable as the source shows a picture that is taken on the day of the incident itself.
Source A shows me that people were throwing stones at the soldiers in a riot but it does not suggest to me that the Protestants and Catholics are on bad terms as the source does not show me whether the people in the riot were Protestants or Catholics.
Q1B)
Source B tells me that the people wanted to be in a part of United Kingdom as they don't really like the negative sense they wanted everything in common,they are united.As source B tells me that "We positively want to be a part of the United Kingdom, not in the negative sense that we fear a united Ireland... feeling of belonging...identified by a common ethnic background..common history"
While source C tells me that they wanted to be united as a group.As seen in source C "We shouldn't let religion divide us..Back home... religion is the thing that divides us....keep their friendship ..pass along idea that to hate someone..not associate..because they're different denomination"
The purpose of source B is to make people understand what they really want now.While the purpose of Source C is to let the people know what they really need to do now.
Source B tells me that The Protestants wanted to have peace and harmony with the Catholics as the source tells me that 'We positively want to be a part of the United Kingdom .............we do have a feeling of belonging .........we feel united in terms of our common history. 'Therefore Source B does not tell me that the Protestants and Catholics are on bad terms.
Source C tells me that the Catholics wanted harmony between the Protestants and Catholics as the source tells me that 'We wouldn't let religion divide us .........hopefully our kids will keep their friendship with each other .........not associate with them because they're a different denomination ,is a bit silly.'Therefore Source C does not suggest to me that Protestants and Ctholics are on bad terms.
Source D tells me that the people in Ireland were rebellious as the source tells me that 'voilence is the only way you're gonna solve things ,which is stupid.My mom and dad don't really like The Troubles (The Fighting), but my uncles do.Therefore Source D suggest to me that the Protestants and Catholics are on bad terms as they are using violence to solve problems.
In conclusion ,only Source D which I agree that the Protestants and Catholics are on bad terms while the rest of the sources disagree.
