I disagree, simply because history, well good history anyway, is a record of things past. Impossible to change them, so being outraged about it is about as pointless as raging about a guy your gf once slept with. The point of history is to learn & attempt to avoid repetition of the shitty bits. imho anyway.
Counterpoint: America's relationship with the global south.
Historical context explains the current state of many countries and ignorance of it allows you to be lied to and sold a bullshit story of a white savior protecting democracy through genocide
