You raise an interesting issue, Chris. Arguably, parts of those societies were civilized and parts were not. Remember your Dickens?

By the standards of their day, yes. By the standards of ours, no. There was a time when it was simply taken for granted that large numbers of people would not receive, and did not need, the basic tools required to make their lives better. We no longer feel that way. What was good enough then is not good enough now.
