It was inevitable that the new woke Yankees would come to cancel the original Yankees. They were problematic you see, those ultra-religious and superstitious first English colonists represented the first African slave-owning colony in New England, hell they even sold some Native Americans captured in war into slavery.
These history killer things called "The Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Commission as well as the Historical Commission found the signs to be “problematic and antithetical" to their inclusive goals so those long-standing touristy historical marker signs were deemed to be "no longer education", and in fact, "offensive", so they had to be disappeared from curious eyes. What those rewriting history are really saying is it's better to not think and learn anything from real history, we'll tell you what to believe.
Concord residents, natives react to ‘problematic’ historic Massachusetts signs coming down By Lance Reynolds
Quote:The decision to take down historical signs commemorating the founding of the Massachusetts Bay Colony in Concord is receiving some backlash from the community, with one resident saying the matter should have been voted on.
Officials removed the so-called tercentenary markers in late January after a pair of commissions argued the signs had harmed Indigenous people and didn’t accurately reflect what happened when settlers founded the town in 1635.
Resident Fred Berthoff, whose family has lived in town for the better part of the past 60 years, reflected how he and tourists would often stop to read the signs to gain knowledge of the town’s history. In particular, he pointed out how “The Milldam” sign, marking the site of an Indian fishing weir, provided an understanding of the layout of downtown but “now no one will know.”
“I think a lot of people don’t like it but they don’t want to be public about it because it is such a hot button issue,” Berthoff told the Herald. He said a question about whether to remove the signs should have appeared as a ballot question.
Two other tercentenary signs highlighted an oak tree that settlers bought from Indians for the town’s incorporation, called “Jethro’s Tree” and a slope where settlers built their first dwellings, called “The First Settlement.”
Concord received the three markers in 1930 from the Massachusetts Bay Colony Tercentenary Commission as part of an initiative recognizing the 300th anniversary of the original colony’s founding.
