Maryland

"st marys city" was the first city in maryland

Maryland is the next colony in order of settlement. The Roman Catholics were among those who suffered persecution in England, and Maryland was founded as a place of refuge for them. Among the most prominent of the English Catholics was Sir George Calvert, known as Lord Baltimore. His first attempt to found a colony was in Newfoundland, but the rigorous climate compelled him to give it up. He decided that the most favorable place was that portion of Virginia lying east of the Potomac. Virginia had its eye already upon the section, and was preparing to settle it, when Charles I, without consulting her, granted the territory to Lord Baltimore. Before he could use the patent, he died, and the charter was made to his son, Cecil Calvert, in 1632. He named it Maryland in compliment to the queen, Henrietta Maria.

Maryland is located in the Mid-Atlantic region, bordering Virginia, West Virginia, Washington D. C., Pennsylvania and Delaware, and was the seventh state to ratify the U.S. Constitution. It is one of the smallest , but most densely populated states, with Baltimore being its largest city. Its land ranges from sandy dunes with seagrass, low marshlands near the Chesapeake Bay, rolling hills of oak forests an pine forests.

By raising tobacco for export to Europe.

It started as a concept put forward by the 1st Lord Baltimore George Calvert and given to King Charles I to establish a new world Colony of Englands unwanted Catholic minority. In 1632 Calvert died and five weeks later the Charter for Mayland was granted to his son Cecil Calvert the 2nd Lord Baltimore. Ships, supplies and colonists saliled for the New World in 1933 under the leadership of Governor Leonard Calvert, via Barbados and Jamestown and arrived in Maryland on 25 March 1634.

The current governor (as of 2012) is Martin O'Malley.

Maryland's colonists made a living just like all the other colonists did. Some jobs were farming, shoemaker's, lumberman, craftsmen, fishing and trading. Trading? Whats Trading? What kind of stuff did they trade?Trading is something were two people or more swap an item another person wants. To trade something to some person you both have to agree on something. Some stuff they traded was rice, indigo, beans, squash, and corn. Also known as the three sisters. But the main thing the colonists did sell or trade was dried tobacco leaves. Back then tobacco was known as the colony's cash crop. That's how most of there money got to them.

Some jobs of colonial times were the cobbler. The cobbler remade and polished shoes.

It was very rough and soil was coarse.

It was a hard life but people came to make money and get a farm...even if the soil was poor

Life there was difficult, but farming was great near the rivers. The soil wasn't that great, but near the rivers were great soil to use for cash crops.

As for the 1700's; women were often married by the time they 13-15, if a woman was not married by the time she turned 25 it was considered a disgrace. The purpose of marriage was not a romantic one as it is in today's society. Instead, marriage was more of a "tool", if you will, to move up both in society and financially (at least for the woman). Once a woman was married she lost her entire identity. She was considered part of her husband's property. If a woman were to run away she would be considered a thief. Why? Because she stole the clothes she was wearing and herself.

The job of the woman was often tiring (middle and high class women were able to share their responsibilities with servants) consisting of: making clothes, making household goods to be sold, making candles, tending to farm animals, tending to the house, doctoring the family when they fell ill, and raising the children among other responsibilities.

The national capital (location of Congress or the President's residence) was technically in Philadelphia, Annapolis, and New York before the establishment of the District of Columbia in July 1790 and the construction of Washington, DC.

Congress, under the Articles of Confederation, met in Annapolis from November 26, 1783 to June 3, 1784.

Even when the first Colonists arrived on what was intended to be a Catholic haven the Catholics were a minority. They had the political power and the power of the purse but that did little to win the hearts and minds of their fellow but Anglican colonists.

It is 8.18 miles according to MapQuest.

Different states handle this situation differently. You'd have to contact your state DMV 800 information line and ask, or look at the permit itself. Most state's will print the restrictions right on the permit.

Parental consent is needed if under 18 years of age. If you are between 16-18 years of age, one of your parents or guardian must be with you and provide written consent. If you are under 16 years of age, you will need both the written consent of your custodial parent or guardian and the written approval of a judge of the Orphans' Court Division of the Court of Common Pleas. If you are under 18, pregnant or have a child, and show a certificate from a licensed physician stating you are pregnant or have had a child, the parental consent requirement may be waived.

Maryland is a state, not a country, it has a govener, not a president, so there is no vp

The time can vary. If you are speaking of having your criminal record expunged of an offense - once the judge approves it (if he does) - court orders directing the expungement will go out to the various record-keeping agencies for them to act on it. Obviously it will not happen instantaneously, but within a few weeks to a month should probably be sufficient. Ask your attrorney, or even ask the judge, they should have a good handle on the timeframe.

Maryland was colonized and founded by George Calvert
