  • "Fifth" Maryland at Guilford Courthouse: an Exercise in Historical Accuracy - L
    HOME CMTE. SUBMISSIONS THE "FIFTH" MARYLAND AT GUILFORD COURTHOUSE: AN EXERCISE IN HISTORICAL ACCURACY - L. E. Babits, February 1988 Over the years, an error has gradually crept into the history of the Maryland Line. The error involves a case of mistaken regimental identity in which the Fifth Maryland is credited with participation in the battle of Guilford Courthouse at the expense of the Second Maryland.[1] When this error appeared in the Maryland Historical Magazine,[2] it seemed time to set the record straight. The various errors seem to originate with Mark Boatner. In his Encyclopedia of the American Revolution, Boatner, while describing the fight at Guilford Courthouse, states: As the 2/Gds prepared to attack without waiting for the three other regiments to arrive, Otho Williams, "charmed with the late demeanor of the first regiment (I Md), hastened toward the second (5th Md) expecting a similar display...". But the 5th Maryland was virtually a new regiment. "The sight of the scarlet and steel was too much for their nerves," says Ward.[3] In this paragraph Boatner demonstrates an ignorance of the actual command and organizational structure of Greene's Southern Army because he quotes from Ward's l94l work on the Delaware Line and Henry Lee's recollections of the war, both of which correctly identify the unit in question as the Second Maryland Regiment.[4] The writer of the Kerrenhappuch Turner article simply referred to Boatner's general reference on the Revolutionary War for the regimental designation.[5] Other writers have done

  • Why the Proposed Maryland Constitution Was Not Approved
    William & Mary Law Review Volume 10 (1968-1969) Issue 2 Article 6 December 1968 Why the Proposed Maryland Constitution Was Not Approved Thomas G. Pullen Jr. Follow this and additional works at: https://scholarship.law.wm.edu/wmlr Part of the Constitutional Law Commons Repository Citation Thomas G. Pullen Jr., Why the Proposed Maryland Constitution Was Not Approved, 10 Wm. & Mary L. Rev. 378 (1968), https://scholarship.law.wm.edu/wmlr/vol10/iss2/6 Copyright c 1968 by the authors. This article is brought to you by the William & Mary Law School Scholarship Repository. https://scholarship.law.wm.edu/wmlr WHY THE PROPOSED MARYLAND CONSTITUTION WAS NOT APPROVED THOMAS G. PULLEN, JR.* The people of Maryland simply did not want a new constitution so they went to the polls on May 14, 1968, and turned down the proposed constitution by a majority of more than 80,000. The apathy of the voters toward a new constitution was really expressed in the election held on September 13, 1966, when they approved the calling of a con- stitutional convention by a vote of 166,617 "for" and 31,692 "against," while in a concurrent primary election the vote was 609,747 of a total voter registration of 1,396,060. Obviously, interest in a new constitution was relatively slight. One of the most serious mistakes made by the proponents of a new constitution was to hold the vote on calling a constitutional convention at the same time as a primary election. The proponents probably thought the people would vote in greater numbers for the constitutional conven- tion if they were at the polls in a popular election; however, the converse was true.

  • Introduction to the Ratification of the Constitution in Maryland
    Introduction to the Ratification of the Constitution in Maryland Founding the Proprietary Colony The founding and establishment of the propriety government of Maryland was the product of competing factors—political, commercial, social, and religious. It was intertwined with the history of one family, the Calverts, who were well established among the Yorkshire gentry and whose Catholic sympathies were widely known. George Calvert had been a favorite of the Stuart king, James I. In 1625, following a noteworthy career in politics, including periods as clerk of the Privy Council, member of Parliament, special emissary abroad of the king, and a principal secretary of state, Calvert openly declared his Catholicism. This declaration closed any future possibility of public office for him. Shortly thereafter, James elevated Calvert to the Irish peerage as the baron of Baltimore. Calvert’s absence from public office afforded him an opportunity to pursue his interests in overseas colonization. Calvert appealed to Charles I, son of James, for a land grant.1 Calvert’s appeal was honored, but he did not live to see a charter issued. In 1632, Charles granted a proprietary charter to Cecil Calvert, George’s son and the second baron of Baltimore, making him Maryland’s first proprietor. Maryland’s charter was the first long-lasting one of its kind to be issued among the thirteen mainland British American colonies. Proprietorships represented a real share in the king’s authority. They extended unusual power. Maryland’s charter, which constituted Calvert and his heirs as “the true and absolute Lords and Proprietaries of the Region,” might have been “the best example of a sweeping grant of power to a proprietor.” Proprietors could award land grants, confer titles, and establish courts, which included the prerogative of hearing appeals.

INTRODUCTION Most of the provisions of the Constitution of the United States that apply to criminal cases have cognate provisions in the constitutions of the various states - provisions that create the same right or restriction. Often the language of the state provisions is quite similar to that of the parallel federal provision. When the Supreme Court of the United States interprets a provision of the federal charter in a manner that conflicts with state precedent, and a subsequent similar case in a state court brings into question the proper construction of the cognate provision of the state's constitution, the state court will be confronted with a choice be­ tween following the holding of the Supreme Court or construing the state constitution independently.

WALKER LEwIs* Although the Maryland Declaration of Rights has had a declining significance in the decision of tax cases, it is still basic to our governmental structure and has much current as well as historical interest. The Declaration of Rights is a statement of principles. Unfortunately, many of them show the wear of time. The tax articles, especially, have undergone erosion through the impact of changed conditions and the human tendency to be guided by expediency when dealing with the harsh realities of revenue requirements. BACKGROUND OF DECLARATION OF RIGHTS Our War of Independence was not merely a struggle against British domination; it was a social revolution as well. It came during a period of ferment, when thinking people were reexamining the principles of government and when political and economic theories were undergoing drastic change.

    The Emancipation of Slaves in Civil-War Maryland: An American Epic Scott Harrison Ness Haverford College Senior History Thesis Spring 2008 Advisors: Emma Lapsansky-Werner and Sharon Ullman Acknowledgements My advisors, Emma Lapsansky-Werner and Sharon Ullman, played integral roles in both the shaping and execution of this thesis. Without their patience and enthusiasm, I would never have made it this far. My parents provided moral support during this yearlong ordeal, without which I would have likely driven myself insane. My father, a former history major himself and knowledgeable about the history of Maryland, provided the initial inspiration to examine this period in the state’s past, and introduced me to the Maryland Historical Society. My mother read every draft before submission and offered constructive feedback and criticism (often deservedly harsh). For this, words cannot express my sincere gratitude. This thesis is lovingly dedicated to my cat Annie. Neither blue nor grey, she is the quintessential lost Marylander who struggled to find a place in the divisive country. 1 Table of Contents Introduction ...………………………………………………...3 Chapter 1 Slavery and Civil War in Maryland: A State Torn …...............................................7 Chapter 2 The Invention of Language ………………...18 Chapter 3 1863: A Turning Point in Maryland Politics ……………………………………...32 Chapter 4 1864: Freedom and Reelection ……………..55 Conclusion …………………………………………………..68 Bibliography ………………………………………………...74 2 Introduction The coming [constitutional and] Presidential [elections are] not…mere [contests] between political parties to determine whose candidate and whose adherents shall exercise power during the next four years.

  • Has Governor's Unmarked Grave Been Found?
    Has governor's unmarked grave been found? Posted by Dick Myers On 01/06/2016 Site of presumed location of Gov. George Plater, III's grave at Sotterley Plantation in Hollywood. Hollywood, MD -- On a windswept February morning more than 200 years ago, Maryland’s leaders huddled together outside the State House. Inside, lying in state, was the body of Governor George Plater III, dead as of the night before. Elected in December, 1791, sickness had ended his term only three months in. Now, the final preparations were being made to transport his body back to Sotterley, his ancestral home in St. Mary’s County. As the casket was borne outside into the cold, the assembled mourners took up their positions around it. Then the procession, with the governor in the center, slowly made its way to the Annapolis docks, where a boat was ready to take Plater’s body to its final resting place. As it left the dock, the official record of what happened to Governor Plater’s body ends. In the last 223 years, no definitive evidence until now has ever been put forward that proves where the Governor was buried… until now. In life, George Plater III (shown at left) loomed as one of colonial Maryland’s leading figures before, during, and immediately after the Revolutionary War. George Plater III, only son of George Plater II, was born in 1736 in St. Mary’s County. Educated at his father's estate at Sotterley Plantation, he graduated from the College of William & Mary in Williamsburg, Virginia in 1752.
