There is a quiet liberal effort to whitewash Idaho history

There is a place in the Allegheny Range called Negro Mountain. It straddles the border between western Maryland and western Pennsylvania. A few years ago, a Maryland lawmaker was driving through the region and saw what I remember being a historical marker. A few days later, she issued a press release demanding that the name be changed. In his eyes, it was racist.

They want Alexander Ross removed from historical landmarks near the top of Galena. I guess Lewis and Clark aren’t far behind.

Then a larger picture emerged. One story goes that during the French and Indian War there was a skirmish and a black man fighting with the American colonists died valiantly. His fellow colonialists knew little about him but wanted to honor his service. Negro was a polite term for black Americans until 50 years ago. The name of the mountain is a story of unity in a country that is often sorely lacking in brotherhood. The state of Maryland replaced some road signs two years ago to appease those who wanted to rewrite American history.

It happens in Idaho

It’s a national trend. High Country News explains that this is happening here in Idaho. However, the goal is to erase what we would call “colonial” names. When was Idaho considered a colony of any sort? Sign warriors don’t care. They want Alexander Ross removed from historical landmarks near the top of Galena. I guess Lewis and Clark aren’t far behind.

WATCH: Here are America’s 50 Best Beach Towns

Each beach town has its own set of pros and cons, which got us thinking about what makes a beach town the best place to live. For the knowledge, Stacker consulted WalletHub data, published on June 17, 2020, which compares American seaside towns. Ratings are based on six categories: affordability, weather, safety, economy, education and health, and quality of life. The towns had a population of 10,000 to 150,000, but they had to have at least one local beach listed on TripAdvisor. Read it full methodology here. From these rankings, we have selected the top 50. Readers who live in California and Florida won’t be surprised to learn that many of the cities featured here are in one of these two states.

Read on to see if your favorite beach town has made the cut.
