I think these points come out in all the other readi gs, like the Abigail Adams biography and George Washington's world as well as Abbraham Lincoln's world all include the various sides of these issues.

I would skip the intro with the children if it bothered me and keep the stories. I think when taken with the whole curricul, you get the balance you are speaking of.
