I was blessed to have inherited true 16th and 17th century history books that were not altered.

Once upon a time I had a library of about 1,000 titles including some 19th century history books. One on American history contained diagrams of the vast network of native American tribes occupying the continent. I also found references to artifacts of Roman Legionnaires buried in Tennessee and Norse settlements in the northeastern US, all "discoveries" that were claimed in the mid-Twentieth Century. Sadly, my ex-wife destroyed my library and I had to start over, new wife, new library that grew to more than 3,000 titles.

While I am moving toward getting ALL my media digital (books, movies, music, etc.), the thing that scares me is that at anytime that digital piece of media can be altered. In a PC society, some of the content I like can ruffle feathers. I'm afraid that sometime that media that I like will be altered because somebody can't stomach what they deem offensive.

...to the shores of Tripoli. They don't teach that it was primarily the US and Great Britain that for all intents and purposes ended the bulk African export slave trade by blowing up their slaving ports.

Slavery goes back to the beginning of time. Race was not a factor until late in the game. The fact that many Americans don't understand that fact is a classic example of the failure of US schools to properly teach history.
