Crowder Editor’s Notebook “War, war, war! If either of you boys says ‘war’ just once more . .” —Scarlett O’Hara to the Tarleton Twins, in Gone with the Wind This spring as we enter the fourth year of the Civil War sesquicentennial and year three of the War of 1812 bicentennial, the nation is justly celebrating the cour- age that held the young republic together in the nineteenth century. Across the na- tion and here in Maryland, the historical coMMunity is presenting rich and varied offerings crafted to engage a curious public with informative exhibitions, living history dramas, parades, reenactments, books, magazines, and official souvenirs such as Fort McHenry coMMemorative quarters and a Maryland license plate. The Maryland Historical Society’s contribution to the celebration will be long-lasting. Drawing upon the society’s rich collections and its experts, internal and external, we have installed two major exhibitions and published three new books. We have also published two special issues of this magazine and at least one Civil War or War of 1812 article in each number since 2011. This is an exciting and rewarding time, but one that also calls for a look back. The magazine is now in its 109th year of uninterrupted publication, a total of 433 issues to date. Over the course of nearly eleven decades, editors in this chair have pondered how best to coMMemorate nation-changing events such as the War of 1812 and the Civil War. All have presented a diverse yet familiar pallet of offerings, among them military and civilian stories, transcriptions of letters and diaries, and reinterpretations of past works. Without exception is the unwritten acknowledg- ment that although there are celebratory moments in these histories, anniversaries of wars should not be occasions for merriment. They are times to reflect upon the origins of conflicts, and to remember those who fearlessly (and sometimes fearfully) defended their country and beliefs. Ultimately, the historical imperative to honor the thousands of Americans who gave their lives in the War of 1812 and Civil War undergirds the stories presented on these pages. There are days when many of us, our members, and supporters ask if these wars are taking too much of our time and resources. The answer, of course, is no. The society’s mission is preserving and interpreting the best of what is new in Maryland history and the offerings extend far beyond the wars. This year’s publications include a history of Southern Maryland Indians, the story of Cecil County slave catcher Timothy McCreary, and a biographical catalog based on the Elizabeth Patterson Bonaparte exhibition. And in this season of coMMemorating wars while paying due attention to other Maryland stories, we duly note that the centennial of our involve- ment in the Great War is just three years away. Unlike Scarlett O’Hara, however, we will not threaten to “go in the house and slam the door.” PDA Cover The Patent of Nobility, 1625 King James I granted George Calvert the title “Baron Baltimore of Baltimore in the Kingdom of Ireland.” The portrait of the monarch shown here is in the top left corner of the parchment,

  • The Long Red Thread How Democratic Dominance Gave Way to Republican Advantage in Us House of Representatives Elections, 1964
    THE LONG RED THREAD HOW DEMOCRATIC DOMINANCE GAVE WAY TO REPUBLICAN ADVANTAGE IN U.S. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES ELECTIONS, 1964-2018 by Kyle Kondik A thesis submitted to Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Baltimore, Maryland September 2019 © 2019 Kyle Kondik All Rights Reserved Abstract This history of U.S. House elections from 1964-2018 examines how Democratic dominance in the House prior to 1994 gave way to a Republican advantage in the years following the GOP takeover. Nationalization, partisan realignment, and the reapportionment and redistricting of House seats all contributed to a House where Republicans do not necessarily always dominate, but in which they have had an edge more often than not. This work explores each House election cycle in the time period covered and also surveys academic and journalistic literature to identify key trends and takeaways from more than a half-century of U.S. House election results in the one person, one vote era.

  • The NAACP and the Black Freedom Struggle in Baltimore, 1935-1975 Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillm
    “A Mean City”: The NAACP and the Black Freedom Struggle in Baltimore, 1935-1975 Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By: Thomas Anthony Gass, M.A. Department of History The Ohio State University 2014 Dissertation Committee: Dr. Hasan Kwame Jeffries, Advisor Dr. Kevin Boyle Dr. Curtis Austin 1 Copyright by Thomas Anthony Gass 2014 2 Abstract “A Mean City”: The NAACP and the Black Freedom Struggle in Baltimore, 1935-1975” traces the history and activities of the Baltimore branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) from its revitalization during the Great Depression to the end of the Black Power Movement. The dissertation examines the NAACP’s efforts to eliminate racial discrimination and segregation in a city and state that was “neither North nor South” while carrying out the national directives of the parent body. In doing so, its ideas, tactics, strategies, and methods influenced the growth of the national civil rights movement. ii Dedication This dissertation is dedicated to the Jackson, Mitchell, and Murphy families and the countless number of African Americans and their white allies throughout Baltimore and Maryland that strove to make “The Free State” live up to its moniker. It is also dedicated to family members who have passed on but left their mark on this work and myself. They are my grandparents, Lucious and Mattie Gass, Barbara Johns Powell, William “Billy” Spencer, and Cynthia L. “Bunny” Jones. This victory is theirs as well. iii Acknowledgements This dissertation has certainly been a long time coming.

    MarylandInfluencers f there was one place where the Democratic Party could take sol- ace on Election Day 2010, it was Maryland, a rock that broke part Iof the red tide sweeping the country. In a year where Republi- cans hoped to make gains across the board, Democrats proved their dominance in the biggest races, holding the governor’s mansion in a landslide, losing just a handful of seats in the state House of Delegates, and actually gaining ground in the state Senate. Any doubts about how deep blue Maryland is—particularly within the state’s heavily populated central corridor—were surely dissipated. Yet the next few years will be pivotal for both parties. Age and term limits are taking their toll on veteran officeholders, opening up op- portunities for ambitious Republicans and Democrats alike to make their mark. The blood sport of redistricting will play out as well.

  • James Russell Lowell - Poems
    Classic Poetry Series James Russell Lowell - poems - Publication Date: 2012 Publisher: Poemhunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive James Russell Lowell(22 February 1819 – 12 August 1891) James Russell Lowell was an American Romantic poet, critic, editor, and diplomat. He is associated with the Fireside Poets, a group of New England writers who were among the first American poets who rivaled the popularity of British poets. These poets usually used conventional forms and meters in their poetry, making them suitable for families entertaining at their fireside. Lowell graduated from Harvard College in 1838, despite his reputation as a troublemaker, and went on to earn a law degree from Harvard Law School. He published his first collection of poetry in 1841 and married Maria White in 1844. He and his wife had several children, though only one survived past childhood. The couple soon became involved in the movement to abolish slavery, with Lowell using poetry to express his anti-slavery views and taking a job in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania as the editor of an abolitionist newspaper. After moving back to Cambridge, Lowell was one of the founders of a journal called The Pioneer, which lasted only three issues. He gained notoriety in 1848 with the publication of A Fable for Critics, a book-length poem satirizing contemporary critics and poets. The same year, he published The Biglow Papers, which increased his fame. He would publish several other poetry collections and essay collections throughout his literary career. Maria White died in 1853, and Lowell accepted a professorship of languages at Harvard in 1854.
