The difference between historical and cutural contexts are as follows: Historical context pertains to the scequences of events marked as milestones that have taken place over time. However, cultural contexts pertains to the customs, mores, and traditions of a specific clan or group of people that have been past on from one generation to another. These traditions become identity markers for which a specific group or clan is known.

cultural context includes religious, social, ethnical and economic aspects of life.

historical could include many of the above but surely the political aspects and its influence in shaping life.

Historical is based on facts that have already occurred in the past, but cultural are concepts, traditions, habits known to society by ancestors and developed with the sons .
