Our concept of morality didn’t even exist. 200 years ago? The Brits repelled the American invasion of Canada. Napoleon was retreating from Russia. Slavery was accepted everywhere since Africans were not human anyway. Women were basically property & treated accordingly. Children worked. Lewis & Clark had just 'discovered' all of the great land to the west & the Native American clearances were in swing. Etc etc. If you were rich enough, you could afford to be moral. For the rest?
