Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of Maryland Politics This book does not profess to be a wholly complete political history of Maryland. The data for such a volume cannot be obtained because it does not exist. What I have attempted to do is to tell the political story of the State from the close of the Civil War to the present time, as accurately as possible and without bias. I have tried to give the facts about every political struggle worth telling about; to trace the rise and fall of the political factors in each; to show their relations to each other, the way they played politics and the kind of men they were. I have sought to picture every campaign made in the State since 1864, to give the names of the men nominated for the principal offices and those elected, to show the political causes that swept them in and out of office, the source from which they arrived their power and the way in which they used it. The "inside" and unpublished politics of the many notable fights that have been waged in this State is here given and it has also seemed worth while to compile the names of the men who have represented Maryland in the Legislature and in Congress since 1880, in that there exists no other record of these men, and unless put in a form where they can be preserved, all recollection of them is bound to fade. It has taken nearly two years to gather the data upon which this book is based. In that time I have sought and obtained from men who were in the thick of the fights the information necessary to write the real story of the times. As the political reporter of the Baltimore Sun from 1900 to 1910, I had unusual opportunities for knowing the real politics played between those years. Prior to 1900, my information had to come from others and from the files of the Baltimore newspapers. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Address to the People of Maryland I trust the condition of public affairs will secure your par don for the language I venture to address to you on the mo mentons questions which agitate the public mind. My life, and the lives of those from whom I sprung, have been passed on your soil. Though I have never sought office at your hands, or at those of the General Government, I trust I need not say to those of you Who know me, that my whole circle of influence (small as it may have been) has been in favor of the welfare and continuance of the Union of the States, and of the welfare and honor of the State of Maryland. If asked whether I love the Union or the State of Mary land most, my reply is prompt and frank. I love the Union most. Born under the Union-my heart has leapt at that glorious name from the earliest recollections of my childhood to the frosty years of an age which, though it has impaired my health and activity, has not diminished the intensity of the love I bear my country. Her glory, her honor, her power, her union, her happiness and welfare, now and for ever, are dearer to me than life. As a bright gem set in the bosom of this glorious Union, Maryland has my strong and loyal affections. I have watched her prosperity with the fondest solicitude from my earliest life, and yet I say to you I love the Union more than Maryland.

This book was released on 2017-10-11 with total page 556 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Maryland as a Proprietary Province The charter, the constitutional basis of the government, was granted by a monarch who had unusually high notions concerning the divine right of kings. It bestowed on the lord proprietor the powers of an absolute monarch. For many years the province was too sparsely populated to admit of the development of a political life; but the sense of individual freedom was strong from the first, and was encouraged by disturbances from without until a successful revolt was effected. The revolt not only gave the people control of their branch of the legislature, but also extended the jurisdiction of the law-making body. An industrial development, a growth of social pressure.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Provisional Government of Maryland (1774-1777) The form of government which the Lord Proprietor had established in the Province of Maryland, and to which it had been almost continuously subject since its foundation in 1634, came to an end in the early struggles of the Revolution. After a comparatively short interval, a new constitution was drawn up and adopted, and the new government of the State was put in the place of the old Proprietary government. But the one did not abruptly end, nor the other abruptly begin. The powers of the Proprietary government were only gradually forced into disuse, to be as gradually assumed by another, rising Authority, which eventually established and, in its turn, gave way before the new State government. It is the history of the government of the Province during this transitional period, or of what is known as the Provisional Government of Maryland, that this paper is designed to study.

To both the Chesapeake Bay with its branching rivers served as a common highway; in both the tidewater region afforded the same soil and very similar conditions of climate. Life, and especially agricultural habits, were, therefore, very much the same, and in each province these soon resulted in the production of one staple, tobacco cultivated by the labor of white servants or of negro slaves.

Download or read book History of Maryland Classic Reprint written by James McSherry and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-09-22 with total page 442 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Maryland The editor of the work which it is the purpose of these brief preliminary words. To present to the public for its sufferance and, it is hoped, a measure of satisfaction, has held in mind during his labors certain facts which he conceived to be fundamental in his undertaking. Conformity of style and literary usage was regarded as important. Following the line of least resistance, he undertook to adapt the style of Mr. Mcsherry to that of his own rather than to affect a manner of writing which to him would have been forced and unnatural, and certainly to the reader clumsy and unrewarding. Numerous verbal changes have therefore been made throughout the text. A certain fulsomeness which appears especially in the eulogies in the work has been corrected. These and similar literary changes embrace the greater part of the exercise of the editorial function up to the chapter which relates to the close of the Revolutionary War. From that period to the end of the work the story was too meager to have linked to it the great subsequent events of Maryland's history. It thus became necessary to rewrite the work from that point, although in so doing everything of the author's has found incorporation, although not always in situ. A comparison with the original work will show the large extent of the amplification which was found to be necessary.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Self-Reconstruction of Maryland: 1864-1867 In the year 1901 I published in the John Hopkins Studies (Series XIX) a monograph upon the subject of the Maryland constitution of 1864. The present study is a continuation of the earlier work in point of time, and I have endeavored to show the method by which Maryland entered upon a process of self-reconstruction during the years 1864 to 1867, and the relation of this movement to national politics. It is with pleasure that I acknowledge my great indebtedness to Professors John Martin Vincent and Charles M. Andrews, and to Dr. Bernard C. Steiner, of the Johns Hopkins University, to my relatives Mr. Isaac T. Norris, Mr. J. Olney Norris, and Mr. W. Starr Gephart, of Baltimore, and to numerous surviving leaders of the period, for their unfailing counsel, and for aid in opening up new and valuable sources of information. I have also availed myself of the kind help of Mr. George V. McCreary, Librarian of the Maryland Historical Society, on numerous occasions.
