The position that believes that we have Free will is known as libertarianism. As I have explained the idea is that we could have done otherwise.
What I find when I read literature about this kind of thing, is that there is no alternate/ parallel universe in which to tell that we could have done otherwise, so how could we possibly know?
It mentions in the linked article that with freedom it requires events of absolute chance. The unfortunate thing about this is there are many events that occur that may look like this, however they only look like this because of our... non-knowledge. If, we knew absolutely everything, not about the future, but about the past we would be able to show a series of event that have enabled said event..
