Maryland

The state of Maryland has been a major player in American history since its founding in 1634. General George Washington praised soldiers from the state for their efforts during the Revolutionary War. Maryland land was donated to build a permanent U.S. capital, now known as Washington, D.C. And the Mason-Dixon line, separating Maryland from Pennsylvania, became a symbol for differences between North and South during the Civil War. Today, as the home of the U.S. Naval Acadamy and presidential retreat Camp David, Maryland continues to play a major role on the world stage.
