[QUOTE="Old Man Jingles, post: 4323778, member: 18222"] In the county where I live, which was named after [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_A._Douglas']Stephen A. Douglas[/URL], Demwits have taken over and now they are trying to rewrite history by saying Douglas county was actually named after [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frederick_Douglass']Frederick Douglass[/URL]. Stephen A. Douglas (Democrat) was a well respected Senator from Illinois that fought to keep the Union together when Abraham Lincoln was elected President. Douglas' birthplace in Brandon, Vermont has been memorialized as a museum and visitor center. Numerous places have been named after him: counties in Colorado, Georgia, Illinois, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, Oregon, South Dakota, Washington and Wisconsin. Fort Douglas in Salt Lake City, the cities of Douglas in Wyoming and Douglas and Douglasville in Georgia were also named for him. [/QUOTE]
