Imagine you were reading a journal written by a woman during the time of the American Civil War.If you wanted to use this as historical evidence,you should first find out the writer's point of view.How would you do this?
find out were she is coming from in the context and read about it and how it would be then and how much different it was from her view to yours now in a way you could do that or just imagine what it would be like your self if you were in her shoes and what you would say or do
