“Democrats rewriting history......what’s new...”
If it’s true, what’s the problem? I’d rather know the real story.
I’ll need to see the video...
I wish someone would wipe Connecticut from history too.

The credit doesn't always go the first; credit always goes to the ones who made it stick.
Situated along the Potomac River in the beautiful lower Shenandoah Valley is historic Shepherdstown, the oldest town in West Virginia. Ask anyone there who built the first steamboat.
An Internet search will yield many links confidently attributing that endeavor to Robert Fulton. However, in Shepherdstown you may hear the name James Rumsey. Rumsey was an inventor from Virginia who ran his own first steamboat in Shepherdstown (now in West Virginia) on December 3, 1787. A townsperson can direct you to a granite column overlooking the Potomac River dedicated to James Rumsey.
James Rumsey is credited with the first steamboat in Shepherdstown, West Virginia whilst the rest of the nation credit Robert Fulton.
Gustave Whitehead is credited with the first powered flight in the state of Connecticut whilst the rest of the nation credit Orville and Wilbur Wright.
I don't see any serious problem with situations like this. I am sure there are other stories from other towns with similar occurrences.
Robert Fulton is widely credited with developing the first commercially successful steamboat after John Fitch could not secure financing.
