A Secondary Source is Defined As: A source that discusses a prior event from an academic or research or layperson perspective. The key here is that the resource is from some time after the event.
An example of this would be a book about the American Civil War or an article in a journal publication discussing the importance of the Battle of Gettysburg. A book will NOT typically be a primary resource unless it is a compilation of letters or diary entries or documents.
If you have questions ask your professor and they will certainly clarify any questions.
