History

Southern Maryland was originally inhabited by Piscataway Indians. Captain John Smith explored the area, shortly before in 1634 southern Maryland's lower tip became the site of the first Roman Catholic English settlement in North America (the site is now a living history museum). Tobacco plantations flourished in southern Maryland during slavery. With a slave economy during the American Civil War, regional white sympathies were very pro-Confederate (as evidenced in the official state song lyrics). From the war's beginning, however, large numbers of Union occupying troops and patrolling river gunboats prevented the state's secession, although nighttime smuggling across the Potomac River with Virginia took place. Southern Maryland was and in most places still is traditionally a rural and agricultural region, linked by passenger and freight steamboat routes. These steamboat routes operated on the Chesapeake Bay and major rivers until the 1930s before the building of highways and the Harry W. Nice Memorial Bridge on U.S. Highway 301. From 1949 (1943 in some places) to 1968, the region was popular for its slot machine gambling (now illegal). Wikipedia does not have an article with this exact name. ...
