Ending slavery in Maryland - a vote

The Long Road to Emancipation - November 1, 1864

On November 1, 1864, a new Maryland constitution went into effect, ending slavery in the state following a statewide referendum held weeks earlier on October 12-13, 1864.

In the City of Frederick, residents voted at the Frederick County Courthouse (Frederick City Hall today) and supported the new constitution by a vote 735 to 441.

Though the vote held across Maryland in the autumn of 1864 abolished slavery in the state, the fight for equality and citizenship for 3,000 newly freed people in Frederick County was far from finished.
