Talk:Charles County, Maryland

message: It would be interesting to know where Old Charles County was, geographically.
The Old Charles County was once located in what is now St. Mary's County in Southern Maryland sometime around the year 1650. A reference to this event can also be found in the Maryland Geological Survey (vol. 6), published by The John Hopkins Press in 1906. The reference to the original geographical location of the Old Charles County is noted on pages 474-475, and the changes brought about for the "new" (i.e., present day) Charles County are mentioned on pages 475-477 of the Maryland Geological Survey.  →Lwalt ♦ talk 13:16, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

message: The text in the adjacent counties section is riveting and no one could ever benefit from seeing how those counties relate to each other in space, size, and location. Maps should always be deleted. Abel (talk) 14:42, 15 March 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  Adjacent counties 

message: This is an important Charles County story. There were hundreds of men in CC who escaped slavery and did this. In neighboring St. Mary's County there were 700 Black men who have been fully documented to have done so. So this really did happen. SMC even has a monument (statue and historical display) to honor them in Lexington Park. 
This mass excape of male slaves and joining of the Union Army happened in Charles County too. (The Union Army had posted handbills offering freedom to any escaped slave who then joined the Union Army and helped fight the Confederacy. Hundreds of enslaved Charles County men responded. They risked their lives to escape and joined the Union Army and fought in many major Civil War battles).
This piece of Charles County Civil War history would be a good addition to this article.
