Students follow the story of Maryland from Indigenous land to English colony with this timeline. Guided by historical sources and video clips, this interactive timeline traces events and decisions from the significance of religious freedom to the rising use of enslaved labor, from cooperation between the colonists and the Yaocomico to a decline in diplomacy, all with the backdrop of political and religious tensions that spill over from England to its colony.
The interactive includes rich multimedia features that encourage students to investigate history on their own. Biographical profiles provide important context about the people who shaped pivotal moments, helping students connect individual stories to the broader history of Maryland. This classroom resource invites students to connect history and people in powerful ways.
