Talk:History of slavery in Maryland

`

De facto end of slavery
The main article on slavery in the United States claims that slavery continued in Maryland through other forms, such as peonage, convict leasing and sharecropping until 1972: Slavery after the Emancipation Proclamation. According to the Maryland article, slavery ended directly after the proclamation and this is apparently misleading and needs to be corrected. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.138.65.155 (talk) 22:53, 16 July 2015 (UTC)

Question about dates
Question: did the Assembly first formalize slavery in 1663 or 1664? I ask because both dates are given in the article in various places. Jack (talk) 05:17, 8 February 2012 (UTC)

Article Needs Pictures of Slaves in the Fields
Most Maryland slavery was tied to tobacco farming and involved heavy field labor. The article needs some (close-up) pictures of this. Given the dominance of field slavery in the tobacco economy (which was the largest farm economy in Maryland) these should be the opening pictures for the article. 2602:306:BDA0:97A0:466D:57FF:FE90:AC45 (talk) 07:10, 20 February 2014 (UTC)

Article Needs Picture of Harriett Tubman
Since she was a slave in Maryland and since her escape, and so many of her rescue escapes of others as well, were in Maryland. It would be nice to have a picture (or photo, there are some photographs of her).2602:306:BDA0:97A0:466D:57FF:FE90:AC45 (talk) 07:15, 20 February 2014 (UTC)


 * The article also needs a complete section on Harriet Tubman. Cliffswallow-vaulting (talk) 16:30, 17 July 2014 (UTC)

Great Article
This is a really great article overall. Improvements can always be made in any article, but someone has done a good job here! 2602:306:BDA0:97A0:466D:57FF:FE90:AC45 (talk) 07:15, 20 February 2014 (UTC)

Article needs pictures of former-slave Union Army soldiers
Many African American men, both slave and free, served in the Union Army and fought in numerous battles during the civil war. Cliffswallow-vaulting (talk) 16:32, 17 July 2014 (UTC)

What is the "Andrews" source in the footnotes?
Several footnotes refer to "Andrews," but that source is never identified more specifically. Does anyone know what that source is? — Preceding unsigned comment added by BaltHistoryBuff (talk • contribs) 21:47, 27 January 2019 (UTC)
