While I see how you got this from the source you were using, I think most knowledgeable historians consider that Druid-Samhein connection to be incorrect. While there were a people known as the Druids, most of what we think about them - including Samhein details linked to Halloween - was invented by pagans during the Neo-Druid movement of the 18th-19th Centuries. While much of what you said holds up well, I think this article takes a much better direction on Halloween given the actual history - https://theopolisinstitute.com/concerning-halloween/
I'm glad to see that Sam has already corrected the false history presented here about Samhain, which I don't entirely blame you for, there's lots of false information out there being given, even by sites like History.com (I've caught them in many lies about history, so I would discourage ever relying on them as a source).
I have a post revealing what we actually know about Samhain, complete with hyperlinks to original sources:
