Partially probably. But people back then had such different perspectives and ways of framing things. You can get a glimpse of it if you like spend some more time with your grandparents or other old people.
What's far more likely is that you'll put yourself into your romanticized idea of this different era.
Partially unrelated: Your grandchildren will have so much better idea of putting themselves into your era. Especially if there is video (and text, audio, pictures etc etc) from you now. But unfortunately we don't have 4k video of people from the napoleonic era.
