Look up “Maryland in Africa”.
The Republic of Maryland (also known variously as the Independent State of Maryland, and Maryland in Liberia) was a country in West Africa that existed from 1834 to 1857, when it was merged into what is now Liberia. The area was first settled in 1834 by freed African-American slaves and freeborn African Americans primarily from the U.S. state of Maryland, under the auspices of the Maryland State Colonization Society. It is now a Liberian province. ❤️✊🇱🇷
