They make far too much out of this.
Long time now all the DC transplants in our “western” MD towns have been erasing its history. They long since insisted Taney be removed as a statue and naming in places there.
I’m shocked they haven’t insisted on changing the town name “Taneytown”, in which my cousins family and my BIL’s son family live.
