Yes, at one point there were over 100.000 enslaved African American in that state, and they were essential not tona profit but to a percieved greater profit that would create wealth and Enpire. To Maryland's credit by the time the US Civil War was unavoidable in 1860 almost half had ben emancipated. It is true that some wer Sold South but most accepted a free but unequal status. It was a compromise, and a sorry one, but equal rights under the law may still be available. The production or cash crops like tobacco and cotton are or at l were mot east were essential at that moment in American History.

The laws of Maryland did not prohibit slavery until November 1, 1864. The Emancipation Proclamation by Lincoln did not affect Maryland, since Maryland was part of the Union, and Lincoln's proclamation affected only those places in rebellion against the Union.

The large plantation was their main source of labor. Tobacco grew really well and many farmers would use slaves to grow it.
