Where people come from, and not where they are now. History isn't a fairy tale, it's ugly, not just the 1800s, but if you go back further than that, it was ugly before that. Trying to erase history or tell people they can't educate people about it anymore over sensitivity to it, or because it traumatizes people is silliness, and will not change the present.
You don't burn every copy of a book because it traumatizes you to read it, or you disagree with what's on the pages so that nobody else can read it either. You simply put the book down, read another one that doesn't offend you so much, and question everything you read, even if it's about the Civil War and slavery. What do you really have experience with concerning slavery? That was the 19th century, this is now 2021, nobody was alive back then to give a personal experience narrative of an event. It's a lot like an Italian guy saying he is still mad about his relative from ancient Rome being killed as a gladiator even though he didn't even meet the guy and never walked in his shoes. These are a couple thousand year old shoes he would be trying on. You would think the Indians would be the most outraged group in America over anything you can think on social media, yet you don't hear much from them, there's hardly enough of them left to have the kind of voice black people and every group that lives on their land (including white people) has nowadays. Yet every other group thinks their story matters that much more than the next (that includes black people) to the point that history can't even be talked about without somebody getting a sore ass over it.

Some useless shit we wouldn't need it for our careers, but some useful shit to kill someone mentally😍✨

A set of made up stories compiled together to help brainwash majority of people. The _official_ method of producing such set is _speculation_. (source: Wikipedia). People who are capable to analyze material facts using cause-and-effect reasoning are kept away from compiling and presenting such sets. They are either lured into "exact" sciences such as physics, math, etc or made outcasts by the school system.
Nevertheless, history as a discipline seems like important for keeping the society to look civilized. At least on the surface. At least, in theory.

Ex1:
- According to history, Lincoln is credited with 1865 emancipation as the event exclusive to the USA and Lincoln's genius. Do you know when Russia emancipated its slaves?
- 1861, but it's not related.
Ex2:
- In 2022, in South Carolina they still teach their own history where Linkoln is an antagonist
Ex3: - It's well-known that history repeats itself.
- Well, that just means we can create alternative reality by telling people how we think they should have acted in the past.
(by the way Juneteenth, the official holiday, is celebrated each year because slaves technically were emancipated in 1863)

A lie with which all the experts in the field agree. Basically, the studying of the past events from the beginning of time, for which there are few concrete proofs, up to yesterday, for which everyone has much evidence. Since written evidence started spreading with the typing machine( invented by Johannes Gutenberg), there were more papers and written stuff to explore and confirm/disprove one's thesis of how an event occurred. However, as it is evident in today's world, manipulating information is a human characteristic, a flaw that has always been within us, people. Therefore, no one can confirm how and what really happened at any moment in all of the history that us humans can study. Conclusion-we can all agree with the all the events we study that they happened, but not really know ALL the background, causes, and consequences of events.
Peter: 'Hey, have you heard that Hitler was missing one ball?'
Steve: 'I have but to prove it, you either found Hitler's photo of his dick, perhaps in a history book, or your grandma told you she gave him a blowjob. Or do you have other firm proofs for your statement?'
Peter: *runs to ask his grandmother to tell him again that bedtime story

History is the interpretation of all events from the past that lead up to the theoretical foundations and social consequences of the present day.
