This is the letter written by, Maj. Ballou on Bull Run anniversary. This latter is the primary source as it gives insight into what the soldiers believed. This document gives the perspective of the Civil War soldier showing their reason for fighting. Primary sources that highlight a citizen's perspective provide the common American's experience.

The reasons for the Civil War are often portrayed from the perspective of the government and/or the wealthy. Soldiers typically have a different reason for fighting. The Civil War was about states' rights or keeping the Union together, but for this soldier it was about the legacy of the country and an attempt to protect that legacy.

I believe the answer is: valid, but not reliable

A result would be considered as valid if it is created by using proper logical thought or common way of reasoning. But, such result on personality would not be considered to be reliable because there are too many factors that could create a deviation within the data, and there is no accurate way to truly measure personality.
