Description:Excerpt from Maryland, Independence, and the Confederation: A Paper Read Before the Maryland Historical Society, December 8th, 1890 I shall, therefore, begin this relation of Maryland's influence upon American independence with an account of her attitude toward the first immediate cause of the Revolution - the Stamp Act of 1765. In 1762, before the close of the French and Indian War, in consequence of the bold stand taken by the Maryland Assembly against the arbitrary demand of the proprietary, governor, minister, parliament, and general, to furnish supplies for the conduct of that war, the king expressed his stern displeasure at the "obstinate disobedience" of the Assembly of Maryland, and censured its members as not "animated by a sense of their duty to their king and country." This reproof was administered, Egremont wrote, "not to change their opinion," but "that they may not deceive themselves by supposing that their behavior is not seen here in its true light." Thus when Maryland entered upon her energetic resistance to the Stamp Act, it was not the first time she had braved the British Lion and heard him growl; nor could she plead for her rebellious acts the immunity of a first offence.
