Answer 1

Secondary sources can be used primarily to get an overview of the topic or subject and to get insight into that moment in history. They synthesize and analyze primary sources and other information to provide context and interpretations. However, they do not provide eyewitness accounts or individual perspectives, as those would typically come from primary sources.
