Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Free Negro in Maryland, 1634-1860 The subject Of the free negro has not been left untouched. Sidelights on the earlier period are to be found in Mac c'onnac's White Servitude in Maryland, and some in formation occurs ih certain of the general and special his tories, but in Brackett's The Negro in Maryland is found a predecessor in which the space devoted to manumission and the free negroes nearly equals that given to the slaves. Dr. Brackett's faithful chronicle Of the formal history has made his work an inevitable help in its field. Although the present study is narrower in scope, and although in its chapters II, III and X, especially, it retraces many of the steps taken in the preceding work, in chapters II and X, at least, it draws upon lucrative materials from which the earlier work derived nothing mentionable. It has seemed meet to interweave what these sources yielded with the formal history, and thus to give further account of the following matters: the reasons for the manumission Of some negroes and the failure to manumit others, how manumission was understood and executed by the owners Of negroes, the territorial distribution Of the free negroes and slaves, the genesis, development, retardation and fiasco Of the colonization movement and the clash Of economic interests over the negro question in state politics. Furthermore, although Brackett has given the law and some Of the other facts about apprenticeship and vagrancy, and al though the materials contained in Bishop Payne's History of the African Methodist Episcopal Church were indispen sable to the chapter on the church, chapters IV-IX (inclu sive) attempt to cover ground that had not been previously cultivated intensively. The work whose results are presented was first under taken at the instance of the Carnegie Institution Of Wash ington, D. C. A subvention from that source made possible the assembling Of most Of the materials used. The writer wishes further to make acknowledgments to Mr. Alfred H. Stone, Professor J. C. Ballagh and Dr. B. C. Steiner for assistance and counsel; to the library staffs Of the Peabody Institute and the Maryland and New York His torial Societies and to the custodians Of state and county archives and Of certain church records and business account books for permission to use materials and for assistance dur ing the researches; and finally to his wife who aided for months in exploring many volumes of newspapers and public records.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story of the longest and most complex legal challenge to slavery in American history For over seventy years and five generations, the enslaved families of Prince George’s County, Maryland, filed hundreds of suits for their freedom against a powerful circle of slaveholders, taking their cause all the way to the Supreme Court. Between 1787 and 1861, these lawsuits challenged the legitimacy of slavery in American law and put slavery on trial in the nation’s capital. Piecing together evidence once dismissed in court and buried in the archives, William Thomas tells an intricate and intensely human story of the enslaved families (the Butlers, Queens, Mahoneys, and others), their lawyers (among them a young Francis Scott Key), and the slaveholders who fought to defend slavery, beginning with the Jesuit priests who held some of the largest plantations in the nation and founded a college at Georgetown. A Question of Freedom asks us to reckon with the moral problem of slavery and its legacies in the present day.

Color and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-05 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Colonization of the Free Colored Population of Maryland, and of Such Slaves as May Hereafter Become Free: Statement of Facts, for the Use of Those Who Have Not Yet Reflected on This Important Subject The truth of the above remarks is so manifest, that it cannot be contested; and every man bf sense, whether he be white or co lored, who reflects upon the subject, must see there is but one remedy for the enumerated evils. That remedy is removal. As it is clearly impossible for'the whites to remove, who are the vast majority, and possess the government, the soil, education, &c. &c., it follows that the colored population must remove, beginning with those that are now free, and continuing with those that may hereafter become so. Experience has already proved, that where the free people of color shall begin to be removed, many slave-holders who would never consent to give their slaves freedom and let them remain here, will manumit them on condition of their going away. Merely to manumit them would not always be a benefit. They can never be but nominally free; their previous habits disqualify them: often for proper exertions here for their own support; their low and hopeless rank in society deprives them of all honorable ambition. 'for these reasons, it seems to be decided by the public sentiment, that to inspire them with a proper feeling of emulation, they must be placed in a state of society where they will enjoy equal rights in every respect.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Travel back to Hoopers Island's beginnings in the 1600s and discover how much different it is today. One of the oldest settlements in Maryland is a small tidewater community on the Eastern Shore named Hoopers Island. Land was patented there in 1659, and families who owned the original plantations have continued to reside there for generations. Economic changes in the 18th century contributed to both isolation and a unique style of life. By the late 19th century, farmers had turned to the sea to make their living and the community became known for its seafood. Island watermen continue to harvest the products of the Chesapeake, and local factories deliver seafood daily throughout the region. Hoopers Island today, however, has a different look than it did even 50 years ago. The high school has been transformed into a fine restaurant, and an old marine railway has become a modern boatyard and marina. While the native population has declined, others have retired to the area, and the island is becoming a vacation destination.
