About も又

When used adverbially, the grouping of も and (また) 'once again', or 'also' will indicate that 'in addition to (A), (B)', or 'also with (A), (B)'. This structure appears after nouns, or noun-like phrases and simply emphasizes that something important needs to be considered about (A).

The noun or noun-phrase that もまた is connected to will be interpreted to be the primary point of a statement, regardless of any contrasting opinion that is given within a sentence. Additionally, もまた will primarily appear in hiragana, and may be thought of simply as a stronger version of も.
