In the context of casual discussions of the possibility of yet another generation of children of color having to sit in a classroom of giggling teenagers discussing literature sprinkled with the "n" word, I thought it would be good to have a sense how really modern, as in close to our time in history slavery really was. And to see how Maryland got a huge pass seeing that it had slavery and still was counted as a union state. Random. And sorry the image is so impossibly huge. Huge subject, I guess. |

| I don't see any image, so no need to apologize. But Maryland didn't really "get to be" a union state, it was forced. Sadly, public opinion was definitely pro-slavery at the time. State song: Huzza, she spurns the Northern Scum...Maryland, My Maryland! |
