Exploring the Maryland Colony

by Robin S. Doak

Overview

Step back in time and visit Maryland during the Colonial period. Although Maryland was founded as a colony for Catholics, conflicts between the colonists, such as the Ingles Rebellion, ultimately made it a place where all religions were practiced. Find out what made Maryland unique, what role it played during the Revolutionary War, and what daily life was like in Colonial times and the early days of statehood.
