Carlisle's Chesapeake

Carlisle's Chesapeake brings you first a series about Frederick Douglass, the native son of Talbot County on the Eastern Shore of Maryland. Frederick Douglass' life spanned a good portion of the 19th Century. He believed that when you fight for one thing, you can fight for so much more. That is illustrated in Douglass' commitment to support the emancipation of African Americans, the voting rights for all men and women, temperance and religious hypocrisy.

    The Creation of Unionville, Talbot County, Maryland

    "Heaven and earth never agreed better to frame a place of man's habitation," wrote Captain John Smith as he sailed the Chesapeake Bay.  Yet Bernard Demczuk explains the stories unfolded differently for men of color on the Bay's shores.  Endentured servants and slaves cleared the land to produce first tobacco crops.  When fewer whites immigrated to the American colonies, slave labor and its Atlantic trade grew.  Listen to Professor Demczuk recount the codification of laws, codifying prejudice ways.       Unionville, a town just outside of Easton, Maryland was created through the generosity of a Quaker family to right those wrongs during the Civil War, a testament to a spiritual journey that continues today, one of love of country and brotherhood of man.

    Douglass Flees U.S. First Going to Ireland During Great Potato Famine

    Ann Coughlin, an Irish Frederick Douglass scholar, explains what it was like for Douglass, a man  still enslaved, on board the Cambria headed for the British Isles.  Douglass left his wife, Anna, and small children, for a two year tour of Ireland, Scotland and Britain to promote Anti-Slavery while working for the abolitionist, William Lloyd Garrison.  Frederick Douglass found Ireland and its people accepting of his color.  The Irish had been under the rule of Britain with separate codes of living for hundreds of years, parallels to his life in the United States.  Douglass first learned in Ireland what it was like to be treated as a man, not chattel.
