Thomas Jefferson and Andrew Jackson are history in Connecticut.
Under pressure from the NAACP, the state Democratic Party will scrub the names of the two presidents from its annual fundraising dinner because of their ties to slavery.
Party leaders voted unanimously Wednesday night in Hartford to rename the Jefferson Jackson Bailey dinner in the aftermath of last month’s fatal shooting of nine worshipers at the historic black church in Charleston, S.C.
The decision is believed to be unprecedented and could prompt Democrats in other states with similarly-named events to follow suit.

You can't fix stupid.
IIRC, George Washington had slaves also .....there's a lot of erasing still to do by the crazed radical left.
Every street, town, statue of Jefferson, Jackson and Washington needs removal N-O-W!

I suggest the Democrats be given the Northeast states and the three states on the West coast to do with as they please.
Conservatives keep the old Confederate states and what’s left over, building a high wall and a deep moat around everything.
After 10-years, look and see who is thriving and who is not.

We thought about inviting Sheila Jackson Lee to speak but they were both slave owners.

Besides, what does this have to do with the point of the article?

Unfortunately it wouldn’t be the south that is most economically strong. It would be the mid west except Illinois and Michigan. The South would be good if it would stop taking the federal welfare money that they do. At least stop taking more then they give. The Northeast pays more to employees but cost of living it is a bit more.
