Why do we use DBQs to study history?

The point of the document-based question is not to torment you but actually to put you in the historian’s shoes as an interpreter of historical material.

Explanation:

The DBQ is testing your ability to:  

create a strong thesis and support that thesis with the aid of the documents provided analyze sources for characteristics such as author’s point of view, the author's purpose, the audience, and context make connections between the documents bring in outside knowledge to strengthen the argument This may sound like a tall order, but you probably already use all these skills all the time.
