Yes, Maryland had a significant number of enslaved people, particularly in the 18th and early 19th centuries. The state's economy relied heavily on tobacco and other agricultural products, which were labor-intensive and dependent on slave labor. By the time of the Civil War, Maryland had a complex relationship with slavery, being a border state with both free and enslaved populations. The state eventually abolished slavery in 1864, following the Emancipation Proclamation.
