Slavery and Freedom in Sandy Spring
Clip: Season 3 Episode 4 | 3m 10sVideo has Closed Captions
Local residents discuss Sandy Spring, MD's history of slavery and freedom.
Sandy Spring, MD was first settled in 1728 as a predominantly Quaker farming community dependent on slave labor. Between the 1770s and 1820s Quakers in Sandy Spring manumitted their slaves and many of the formerly enslaved families remained in the area as wage workers. As the home to a proud free Black population, the village was an oasis of sorts, surrounded by slave holding plantations.
