Roddenberry created Star Trek to teach simple lessons about morality. It makes sense that they'd pick things from Earth's actual past to do that, because it has a more profound impact on us.

Ah.

I got into Voyager for about 2 weeks because at the time, I watched everything even loosely related with Trek. Never got to watch much DS9, though.
