Notes on the Progress of the Colored People of Maryland Since the War, Jeffrey R. Brackett, 1890
Pamphlet
Notes on the Progress of the Colored People of Maryland Since the War. Jeffrey R. Brackett. Johns Hopkins University: Baltimore, 1890. Original paper wrappers. 6 x 9 inches. 96 pages. "In some respects, Maryland is a most interesting and instructive field for a study of the progress of the colored people," begins Brackett. "A very intelligent colored man has said that his people there would have been much further advanced, had the State seceded and shared the fate of the more Southern states." A slave state close to the capitol but bordering north and south, Maryland was uniquely situated, the site of some of the first fatalities of the war. The impacts of Civil War in states across the nation but particularly those with strongly opposing factions would be a subject of fascination for scholars for many decades to come. Crease to front wrapper. Tear down paper-wrapped spine with front wrapper partially detached. Textblock tight and clean. Very good condition.Item #18189
