You mean then that most people living before the 20th century had no conscience. Well, you have of course a right to your opinion. For me, that view is just condescending. It also means you think of the people of the past times as inferior to you.
I have no doubt that the future generations consider the people of the present century to be without conscience also, by that definition. Because almost certainly we accept something now that they will deem unacceptable.
