--Tone

--Historical Context:  circumstances or facts that surround a particular historical event, or situation.  Because of this information, our understanding of a historical event is more complete; we have the advantage of knowing what people knew at the time and understanding why  events unfolded in the manner they did. 

                --ex:  New Orleans, and the United States in general, were not properly prepared for Hurricane Katrina in 2005.  Understanding this historical context makes it easier to understand why the disaster was so vast. 

                --ex:  Hitler kept concentration camps a secret from the general public in Germany.  He held these in days leading up to, and during WWII.  The general public was very supportive of him and his war efforts because he made their economy and everyday life better.  Understanding this historical context makes it easier to understand why they were supportive of him.
