ECONOMIC HISTORY OF SIERRA LEONE
Since history studies mankind's past it therefore deals with the study and recording of important past events to include economic,social,political and commercial aspects.Economic history of Sierra Leone is an attempt to review and interpret such economic,social,political and commercial past events of Sierra Leone;from pre-colonial to colonial and post-colonial periods onto the contemporary era.

SOURCES OF HISTORY This topic implies the approaches to the sources of history and it's constitutes the following sources.

Oral Tradition/Remembered History This is one of the sources of history.This is the process by which events of the past ar handed down from one generation to another.This approach is sometimes not reliable because the analysis and interpretation of events are,to a very large extend,influenced by individual values and sometimes fact maybe omitted,added or even exaggerated.For example the analysis and interpretation of the event of the eleven years rebel war in Sierra Leone,we cannot just conclude that the analysis given by what happens in the eleven years rebel war, are all true even though it might be so.

Archeological Approach This is also referred to as digging-up history.This is because it involves digging-up history by archeologist to gather ancient and historical remains that can be carefully studied.Examples of such remains includes stones,metals,painting,pottery,human fossils etc all these helps to interpret the events and activities such as economic,social,political and commercial activities undertaken by people living in those areas in those days.Where these are found it would certainly gives and impression of the type of activities undertaken by people living in those areas at that time Abu I Conteh (talk) 04:51, 4 March 2022 (UTC)
