It does bring up a good point...

Should you be allowed to tray and change history though speech?

For example, if Bill Gates thought it would be fun to use his money to try and change the fact that slaves ever existed in the US. He ran ads, made movies, published books... used all his resourced to try and change history.

Should that be legal?

Why not?  Everyone does it already.  There are parts of history that are broadly skipped over... and other parts of history intentionally manipulated just to stop other problems.  (Like say Alexander the Great's Macedonia.)

That's always been the risk of saying something stupid.  Stupid people may believe you.  If Bill Gates tried all that a lot of people would well call him out on it and it would fail.
