Good answer. Is context the same as "history"?

My point being that the context is probably the most important point to understanding many of the verses but isn't it also helpful to understand the history surrounding the scriptures?

What was happening in Moses' time? How did that affect what he was inspired to write?
How different was that from Jeremiah's time, Daniel's time, Jesus' time?

Am I making any sense or just confusing myself further?
