Can’t discern if Richard Montgomery (whom the county was named after) did own any slaves or not. He was born and raised in Ireland, served in the British Army for a long time (was involved in the Seven Years War) and eventually moved to Kingsbridge NY (now part of the Bronx) in 1773, where he owned a farm.

Being a Democrat means lying to ones self constantly....lie about the number of genders, lie about islam, lie about immigration and make yourself believe that removing a statue will actually somehow make race relations better.
