We aren't even 100 years out from WW2 and the amount of revisionism and outright denial of events is discouraging, I'm not sure 200 years past will be any more accurate.
Another commentor mentioned Orwell and I'm reminded of the brouhaha over chat-gpt refusing to say a certain person's name. How will the past be accurately represented if chatbots used by future students can be manipulated like that?
