i agree with you niki to an extent, but history is a story of people and their decisions. SHOULD we learn about WWII & the Holocaust without learning about Adolf Hitler? though there are people that end up revering his image and likeness, which is definitely true in this example, I'm not sure if its true to history to act like his ego & self were huge parts of what happened.
examples like how Stalin uprooted Lenin behind his back tho they were close friends
the complexities of heroes & villains even Lincoln as we mentioned paint fuller pictures.
what I do agree with you on is if there's a statue/memorial of "George P. Farmer who died here in virginia killing indians... he built this church too". that shit is not relevant to how we shape our understanding. But General Custer is & how he savagely sought revenge on natives that had nothing to do with his war
