LEGACY Spring 2012, Page 2 THE LEGACY NEWSLETTER OF THE HOWARD COUNTY HISTORICAL SOCIETY Spring 2012, Volume 49, Number 1 The War Between the Methodists ver wonder why a small town like Laurel Maryland would Ehave two historic Methodist churches dating back to the mid 19th century? The answer is simple. Seventeen years before the War Between the States there was the War Between the Methodists. The first “shots” in this war were fired in 1844 at the Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church in Lex- ington, Kentucky. But unlike the Civil War, with its numerous causes for division, the only dividing issue between the Meth- odists was slavery. When the Methodist Episcopal Church was founded in the United States in 1784, the denomination officially opposed slavery. In the early 19th century the MEC weakened its stance, though clergy were still expected not to own slaves. Conflict arose in 1840 when the Rev. James Andrews of Oxford, Geor- Left: the “northern” Centenary M.e. ChurCh in LaureL, gia, a bishop, inherited a slave from a parishioner.

  • Samuel Green: a Black Life in Antebellum Maryland Richard Albert Blondo, Master of Arts, 1988 Thesis D
    ABSTRACT Title of Thesis: Samuel Green: A Black Life in Antebellum Maryland Richard Albert Blondo, Master of Arts, 1988 Thesis directed by: Dr. David Grimsted, Professor, Department of History, University of Maryland This thesis presents the story of Samuel Green, a free black from Dorchester County, Maryland who was sentenced in 1857 to ten years imprisonment for having in his possession a copy of Uncle Tom's Cabin. Born a slave c. 1802, Green gained his freedom c. 1832 and lived a life of quiet dignity, while enduring the pain of losing his children again to slavery in the late 1840s. Green was respected by both whites and blacks in his community in part because of his status as a local lay minister in the Methodist Episcopal Church. Though suspected of aiding slaves to escape, no evidence was found to convict him of that crime. The planters of Dorchester County eventually succeeded in convicting Green for the crime of possessing the novel, perhaps because of belief in his guilt in aiding slaves escape and certainly because they wanted to believe that some plot must lie behind their "happy" slaves absconding in large numbers. Green bore his fate with some of the Christian fortitude shown by the fictional Uncle Tom. After five years in prison in 1862, Samuel Green was pardoned predicated on his removal to Canada. Through a study of primary documents, including court records, state archival holdings, and newspapers, a touching portrait of an ordinary black who faced extraordinary circumstances unfolds.

WALKER LEWIS* Recent events have given renewed currency to the hundred year old decision of the Court of Appeals in Baltimore v. State,' upholding the transfer of the Baltimore police to the control of the State. The legislation2 effecting this transfer was adopted February 2, 1860. Its passage occasioned an outcry from City Hall the like of which had not been heard since the days of the Sabine women. But the wails gained no sympathy from the courts. On March 13, 1860, the Act was upheld by the Superior Court of Baltimore City, and on April 17, by the Court of Appeals. No one would quarrel today with the principal holding of the case, that a municipality was legally a creature of the State and that the legislature had power to control its police and other functions.

BENJAMIN LUTHER PRIC E, Minister of the First Presbyterian Church Alexandria, Louisiana. ! 1198502 PREFACE. In former years the writer took very little interest in family history: but when he began to gather data for his wife's admission to membership in the Daughters of the American Revolution, his family pride was aroused; and he has since persisted in an en- deavor to trace the history of his people. It is a further gratifica- tion to feel that some success has attended these efforts. This fragmentary sketch has cost some time and expense; yet it has been a diversion from the duties of the pastorate, which every minister needs, at the same time it has been a labor of loyalty and love. It might appear from the pages of this booklet that our people were mainly of the Episcopal Church, but the record does not jus- tify such a conclusion. In the days of the Colonies, when the Episco- pal Church was the first on the ground, our people with many oth- ers, at once recognized the value and importance of the Sanctuary, and so naturally threw their influence ,and gave their support in maintaining the Altar of Jehovah regardless of creed. The family is represented in many of the Protestant churches of the present time ,though a goodly number have been and are now Presbyte- rians.
