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.

The production or cash crops like tobacco and cotton are or at l were mot east were essential at that moment in American History.
