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.

Why did Colonial Maryland have so many people?

Some crop production is extremely labor intensive especially in the days before engines, tractors, harvesters and the steel plow. With adequate cheap labor they could produce handsome profits so manpower was essential. When indentured servitude failed to provide the answer the management wonks moved to the use of more and more Redemptioners for labor but when that failed to produce the desired profit margin, chattel slavery was introduced. It worked its magic and Annapolis grew extremely wealthy on the slave trade.
