The story of seventeenth-century Maryland is given little recognition in American history and yet it is one of high relevance. In this presentation, some of the many findings about Maryland are considered, including the decades-long archaeological search for its first capital of St. Mary’s City. History and Archaeology provide distinct insights about the past and when combined, a much fuller understanding of this new immigrant society that formed along the Chesapeake Bay may be obtained. As with all human endeavors, early Maryland was a mixture of the positive and the...

The Quakers—formally known as the Society of Friends—were the first group of white Christians to confront slaveholding as a religious problem that demanded social action. But in the 1600s, many Quakers were slaveholders themselves.

This lecture by historian Richard Bell tells that story, focusing in on the 1688 Germantown Protest as well the later crusades of...
