Sure, it's fine. It's two different questions to say whether it was considered moral at the time, to whether it would be considered moral today. It also depends which society you ask. The American killers probably thought their actions were moral, the native Americans probably felt they were immoral. So even in one age, there is no consensus. Also, the law isn't the same as morality although it usually has some relation to society's overall morality.
Ultimately every single individual has their own idea about how moral any particular action is. The overlap within any particular society at any particular time becomes the norm. No action is inherently moral or immoral because that makes no sense. There has to be a judge, and different judges come to different conclusions.
This should be clear in my animal example. Am I "more moral" than society? According to me, yes. According to society, no.
