Maryland State Flag
Brief History. English settlers, many of whom were Roman Catholic, landed on St. Clement's (present-day Blakistone) Island in 1634. Religious freedom, granted all Christians in the Toleration Act passed by the Maryland assembly in 1649, was ended by a Puritan revolt, 1654-1658. During the Civil War, Maryland was a slave state but remained in the Union. Consequently, Marylanders fought on both sides. Maryland is home of the Johns Hopkins University and Hospital. The capital, Annapolis, is the site of the U.S. Naval Academy.Flags of the World > US State Flags > Maryland State Flag
