Agreed.
I would submit however that history is neither right nor wrong. It is merely a chronology of events. To presume to judge the actions of one time with the evolved (one would hope) moral sensibilities of a later time is in my opinion sophistic in the extreme. We can study history. Hopefully we can learn from history. But we can never change, or even more to the point, ERASE history. To do so is a distinct disservice to everyone.
