The Act did not prohibit preaching and efforts to persuade others to a particular religious point of view (as long as it was a Christian point of view), but it did provide severe strictures and fines for those who would openly criticize or slander any belief, Christian or non-Christian.http://www.mdarchives.state.md.us/msa/speccol/sc2200/sc2221/000025/html/toleration.html Taken from the Internet, July 5, 2001.!Annapolis as the Nation's CapitalSZe[jMaryland History Timeline. http://www.mdisfun.org/kids/histime.asp Taken from the Internet July 5, 2001.Arrival of Acadians1 BaltimoreEFrench-speaking Catholics arrived in Baltimore from Nova Scotia.

KTO Press, New York: 1981. p. 102Harriet TubmanHarriet Ross Tubman was born in 1821 in the area of Bucktown and at an early age experienced the forced separation of family members and the brutality of slavery. At the age of 28, Tubman learned that she and other members of her family were to be sold and transported to the Deep South. In attempting to escape, she was fully aware of the possibility of not seeing her parents, siblings, friends, and even her husband. Repeatedly risking capture, Tubman returned to the South to liberate over 300 slaves. She worked to relieve the suffering of others and spoke out against injustices. After 1857, she began addressing anti-slavery conventions and developed her association with John Brown. She was privy to Brown's plans for Harpers Ferry, as Brown hoped Harriet would be chief guide to the North for the slaves he freed. A bright spot for her, in June of 1857, was that she was finally able to free her parents.
