I think this forum, (myself included) tend to give our opinions on here without realising that people in those days thought different.
I mean they were people of course, but they would of thought in the context of the time.
We know hindsight.

I think that's to oversimplify (and underestimate) the contributers on here.

Granted, "The past is a foreign country: they do things differently there" but even thinking and acting 'in their time' would have had right and wrong consequences for those living through them.
As at present - you can only go with what you know.

Cheers, MTS
