Yawn. Do you feel the need to take on the times, culture and prejudice
of our fathers? Good luck with all that. But grasp what the age was
honestly and deeply. You weren't there.
Modern historians can warp as well as illuminate past times.
No other citizens of conquering states need apply to this without truly
understanding your forbearers. If it wasn't for their foul deeds, you
might well not exist.
