Having lived briefly in a third world country and having travelled for many years in various countries of that description, you quickly learn to be wary of "friendships". It is not that people in these countries are bad people or incapable of genuine friendship in principle. It is that gap between you (a well off American) and them (a third world citizen who even if relatively affluent, is often at a huge disadvantage vs an American) is astronomical. And that gap is not just financial and legal, but also based on traditions and customs. Relationships that may feel like genuine friendships for a time usually come with future requests or pleas for assistance.

History in and of itself is not meaningful or virtuous. Historical documents, artworks, buildings and any ephemera must be examined to have significance or worth. History is a discipline, which we use to inform ourselves about why our society functions the way it does given our past. If you are arguing to preserve a past that was erected specifically to cow other humans into submission and remind them of a time when they were nothing but property, you are on the wrong side of it.
