Yes, it should be known so it can’t be repeated. But that can be accomplished in history books.
We don’t need monuments and songs glorifying that shameful time
ETA: Saying “things were just different” is also total bullshite. Owning other humans as property has always been pretty shitty. So things weren’t that different. People were just being shitty

There’s no need for you to be ignorant. It’s too easy to sit here in 2020 and judge what was right and wrong in the 1800’s and prior. Slavery was an everyday part of life in damn near every continent. Who do you think built the Pyramids? Geez...we outta knock those things down. Yes?

I get what you’re saying but, to an extent, I think it is fair to say things were different. People did own other people in the past and they always had until relatively recently. Not justifying it but life was different then just as it will be 100 years from now. No one knows which views we all hold now that will be perceived as savagery 2-4 generations from now.
Right or wrong, I don’t think it’s fair to use today’s moral standards to judge our ancestors
