Freddie’s right, don’t make Britain a slave to history

AS USUAL, Frederick Forsyth is spot on (“Rewriting our history won’t make it better”, June 11).

Trying to rewrite history to fit today’s values is ridiculous.We should learn from it, not rewrite it.

As Frederick states, we were late in entering the use of slaves but were the first to abolish it.
