Yes, the current American tendency to blame the poor for unfavorable conditions is similar to racist attitudes of the past. Groups in power, whether by class or race, have always tended to attribute their issues to outside parties such as the less-privileged strata of society.

In the case of historians wanting to study an event a primary source has multiple advantages, one of this is that the document would reflect the way the event was experienced as the source is created at the same time the event occurs or short after this, and reported by someone who was part of the event, experience it or witness it in a closer way which provides a closer perspective of the event.
