Moving to Maryland?
For an increasing number of people, Maryland is most significant as the home of
The Wire. In fact, the seventh state in the Union was obviously unusual long before
David Simon turned a TV camera to the streets of Baltimore. Founded as the sole
Catholic colony in Protestant America, and named after Charles I’s wife Henrietta
Maria, it attracted settlers by awarding plots of land. Although most of the immigrants
sent by Lord Baltimore were Protestants, this quickly became one of the few areas
of the British Empire where Catholics held the highest political positions. Religious
freedom was granted all Trinitarian Christians in the Toleration Act passed by the
Maryland assembly in 1649. After the ascension of William of Orange to the British
throne, Catholicism was outlawed and all the churches burned down.
Historically, Maryland was part of the Chesapeake Colonies where planters cultivated
tobacco as a cash crop dependent on indentured labour. Large numbers of African
slaves were shipped into the region. Even though after Independence, many Maryland
planters followed the examples of their neighbours in Delaware and Virginia and
freed their slaves, it remained the only slave state in the North. It stayed part
of the Union, but thousands of fighters did travel south to join the Confederate
Forces and many families were divided. After the war, although exempted from the
Emancipation Proclamation, the state legislature passed an amendment outlawing slavery.
In 1867, it extended suffrage to non-white males. This was the beginning of a long
period of progressive politics. At the beginning of the twentieth century, Marylanders
were among the first to demand that government jobs be granted on the basis of merit
rather than patronage. In 1902, the state passed laws regulating working conditions
in mines, banning child labour below the age of twelve, mandating school attendance
and enacting the nation’s first worker compensation law. The Old Line State became
known as the Free State due to its refusal to outlaw alcohol. However, it was not
one of the states to force the ratification of suffrage for women. In recent years,
Maryland has become notorious for its political corruption, the poverty of its cities,
particularly Baltimore, and high crime rates.
Nonetheless, “America in Miniature” still has a lot to offer residents and visitors.
One of the most environmentally conscious states, it ranges from sandy dunes dotted
with sea grass in the east, to low marshlands teeming with wildlife and large bald
cypress near the bay, to gently rolling hills of oak forest in the Piedmont Region,
and pine groves in the mountains to the west, all in a warm climate that ranges
from balmy to stifling. South of Chesapeake Bay, the enticing back roads of the
Eastern Shore move from the old-fashioned appeal of Chestertown to the crowds of
two-hundred-year-old Ocean City. The seafood in this area is excellent – the oyster
population may have declined but the prized blue crabs and the rockfish are still
as sweet and unctuous as when the settlers first wrote about them. Assateague Island
National Seashore is a thirty-seven-mile stretch of entirely undeveloped beach and
marshland.
Annapolis is engaging and unhurried, home to the beautiful Maryland State House,
the oldest capitol building still in use, a number of stunning colonial mansions
and the US Naval Academy, decorated in Beaux Arts style. The Banneker-Douglass Museum
has a renowned collection of African-American art. It might be a city in decline,
but Baltimore’s closely knit neighbourhoods and historic quarters make it one of
the most attractive East Coast cities. It has a magnificent waterfront, a host of
museums ranging from black history to science and the National Aquarium, a world
class attraction. Who would want to miss the place that inspired The Star Spangled
Banner?
