Why is it important to Review the Background Information of a document before reading it?

Hector St. John de Crèvecœur (Hector) was born in France, but relocated to the colony of New York and married a local woman named Mehitable Tippet. In 1782, he published a volume of narrative essays titled Letters from an American Farmer.

Background:

He was the first writer to describe life on the American frontier to Europeans across the sea. He explored the concept of the “American Dream”, portraying American society as characterized by the principles of equal opportunity and self-determination.

Background:

The writing celebrated American ingenuity and its uncomplicated lifestyle & also described the religious diversity in America as a melting pot being created from a variety of ethnic and cultural backgrounds. His work provided useful information and understanding of the "New World" helping create an American identity in the minds of Europeans with his descriptions of the new country of the United States of America.
