Lots of horrible things have happened in history. Knowing this, reading about it and learning about it doesn't mean it's accepted. Trying to change aspects of history because they're no longer considered acceptable is stupid because it's not possible to change everything, because it undermines the changes that have happened over time to make them no longer acceptable, and because nobody has the right to change other peoples' creations because they don't like them. Publishers absolutely have the right to change anything they want because they own it. The author sold it to them.
