Prior to 1909, Maryland was commonly referred to as the "Free State." This nickname emerged in the early 20th century as a response to the state's historical association with both free and slave states, particularly during the Civil War era. The term "Free State" symbolizes Maryland's commitment to preserving civil liberties and opposing the prohibition of alcohol, which became a significant issue in the 20th century.
