This is a transcription of the 'Speech of Col. Curtis M. Jacobs, On the Free Colored Population of Maryland,' delivered in the House of Delegates on February 17, 1860. The speech offers a snapshot of the legal and social status of free Black people in Maryland on the eve of the Civil War. Jacobs addresses the complex issues surrounding slavery and the rights, or lack thereof, afforded to free people of color within the state. The document provides valuable insight into the political discourse and racial tensions prevalent during this turbulent period in American history. It remains relevant for those studying 19th-century American history, the history of slavery, and the struggle for civil rights.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
