- Maryland's History is full of fascinating events and characters. From Chesapeake Bay Pirates to Harriet Tubman to the Battle of Antietam. Here are the Top 10 Most Interesting Historical Events in Maryland!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-War of 1812
In the War of 1812 the Chesapeake Bay played a pivotal role in it’s access to Washington DC and Baltimore. When the British first arrived they started a blockade at the mouth of the bay and also began raiding towns along the bay from Norfolk Virginia up to Havre de Grace. The US quickly assembled a motley collection of barges and gunboats along with US sailors, Chesapeake waterman and freed slaves to create what was known as the Chesapeake Bay Flotilla. They engaged the British Fleet in the Chesapeake Bay but were quickly overpowered and overrun and the British went on to invade Washington DC in 1814 and ultimately burned down the White House.
-Chesapeake Bay Pirates
For over 200 years during the early days of the American colonies, pirates were a common sight in the Chesapeake Bay. Although they did sometimes attack vessels of the American colonies, many governors and merchants embarrassed them because they would import goods the colonies had no other way of obtaining. Pirates often would come to the Chesapeake Bay to resupply before longer excursions at sea. The most famous of these pirates was Edward Teach {Like teacher}, also known as Blackbeard, who would wait at the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay to attack vessels and often visit the Eastern Shore of Maryland. There are many stories of him burying his plunder near Assateague Island and the Eastern Shore.
-Great Baltimore Fire
In 1904, a small store fire in Baltimore quickly spread from building to building and from city block to block until the fire covered 140 acres of buildings and homes in flames. Fire fighters from Philadelphia, Washington D.C, Atlantic City and New York City all rushed to Baltimore's aid but quickly realised none of their hoses connectors worked with Baltimore’s fire hydrants. After burning for over 30 hours and destroying 1,500 buildings the fire eventually burnt itself out. As a result of this fire, Baltimore adopted new city building codes and required the use of fire resistant materials. The country also went on to adopt standardised fire hydrant connectors as a result of this incident.
-Dr. Mudd’s House
On the night of April 14th, 1865, Maryland native, John Wilkes Booth, Assassinated Abraham Lincoln at Ford's Theater in D.C. and fled into Maryland on horseback.

Have you done any videos on our landmarks, such as places like the shot tower?
MD is super notable, and yet some people don't even know it exists :P
y e s
Sadly :(
Shh I don't want anyone else moving here or tell them northeastern Maryland is the place to be.
I love my Maryland. My family has been here since 1639.
Yours videos are great! You teach me in every video! Carry on!
This video was very informative! I love history!!
I'd like to know more about the Baltimore that Anna Murray and Frederick Douglass knew. The neighborhood around Sharp St. Church, the topography, how they got water, light, was there gaslight in the homes? How did life change over the years as trollies and electricity replaced horses and gaslight?
Excellent video, Thank You!!
Fences Scott key has a plaza named after him in Frederick
Maryland is a very underrated state
We may be underrated to some, but that doesn’t shake our pride
This way a amazing video.
I am a teacher (moving to Maryland from AZ) and can probably only rent a studio apartment, but I love your videos. This is a big decision and your videos help with my sanity! Thank you!
I'm glad they are helping. Good luck with your move.
Why are you leaving Arizona for Maryland?
Personally, I am leaving Maryland as soon as I can, to go further south. It's too expensive here...
@@Deborahtunes my parents live in PA and the rest of my family live in NY. I need to get a master's degree before I can teach in either of those states. Also, there is less snow in MD than PA.
@@michelezalak3393 ~ Oh ok, I understand. See I prefer the colder climate, but northern states are just too costly to live in, including Maryland, even if it is technically considered a southern state...
@@Deborahtunes I still have no clue where in MD to move. Howard county is my top choice.
I live about 15 mins away from john wilke booths home
This is also unbelievable .
Great fire of baltimore
My uncle was the 4th governor of Maryland and ratified the US constitution even though the state opposed it, he also protected George Washington's retreat during the battle of Germantown and the Battle of White Plains where he was injured both times creating an opening for George Washington and the continental Army.
I said it once and I’ll say it again: Maryland isn’t easily shaken, sure we’ve had it rough in the past and even now, but the pride of us Marylanders is what keeps this state alive
On April 29, 1861 the Maryland General Assembly voted not to secede from the Union. If Maryland secedes then Washington D.C. is in the Confederate States of America.
No what actually happend was Lincoln locked up most of the state gov so they couldn't vote
Does anyone have any history about the old "Cherry Tree Farm" house on the corner of 216 and 29? It is no longer there. It was an old concrete farm house with garage, large chicken coop, and roughly ~42 acre.
Marylands got a rough history to say the least lol
True, but we take great pride in our history, Maryland isn’t easily shaken
@@GlaziolaNacht I was born and raised in Baltimore. Our state sucks. Big time
Wasnt Maryland named after mary virgin or tudour Baltimore after lord Baltimore
Like I said no mention of the Battle of North Point!!!!!
You seem to have left out a very important part of the history of the war of 1812 in Baltimore. No mention of the land battle that took place at north point. The Todd house, Bread and cheese creek, Daniel Wells, Henery McComas, And so on!
Just google battle of noth point and you will find lots of info!
It's not harve we grace. It's have ray de grave. 😀
0 dislikes yay
wow, yea. Please don't be the first!
I won’t go Terps
Wow no mention of the battle of north point that preceded the attack on fort McHenry!
Actually, he did talk about the attack on fort McHenry.
Now why would 👽s visit us? They came they looked. They said NO intelligent life here! Lets go check out all these OTHER planets...
How about the modern father of gospel music from Berlin Maryland or one of the signers of the declaration of independence is in princes in Maryland house still standing you can tell you’re not from the shore
you can tell this guys from MD by the way he pronounces baltimore
First deaths in the American Civil War during the Baltimore riots on April 19, 1861
Sharpsburg
SHARPSBURG?!?)!??
Google A BAD TRIP T EDGEWOOD
The Emancipation Proclamation is so over hyped it disturbs me. Lincoln declared slaves in states participating in the rebellion free but required them to fight for the Union if they made it north. But Union slaves were still slaves. The weaponization of the plight of minority groups is a long proud tradition of a certain class of people who seem to be mislabeled as the righteous. Lincoln was a tyrant who didn't care about slavery. He cared about growing an empire. His efforts are celebrated by the same class of people today. Now we are a global empire on the verge of collapse.
Slow down bro. Maryland history deserves your time and not a commercial for your business, lol
