At what point does it become American History

At what point do all the injustices and atrocities of the past become American History?
Start with Columbus throughout the Caribbean. Him and sailors did a lot of bad stuff to the Arawak Indians and related tribes. It's close to be labeled as genocide. Does blame for that accrue to us because we happen to live in modern America?
Jump forward to slavery for several hundred years and then reconstruction. How can people act that way?
What are we doing or tolerating now that could be judged an injustice or atrocity.
Probably better to think about other things.
