 Liberty Hall has had visitors of such stature as George Washington, Martha Washington, Lewis Morris, Marquis de Lafayette, Elias Boudinot, and John Jay, the latter of whom was married there.

Underground Airlines is a 2016 novel by Ben Winters which is set in a contemporary alternate-history United States where the American Civil War never occurred because Abraham Lincoln was assassinated prior to his 1861 inauguration and a version of the Crittenden Compromise was adopted instead.
 As a result, slavery has remained legal in the "Hard Four" (a group of southern states which have kept slavery): Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi and a unified Carolina.
 The novel attracted praise for exploring racism through the alternate-history mechanism, but also engendered criticism for coverage that seemingly ignored similar contributions by Octavia Butler.
The 2006 United States Senate election in Maryland was held on Tuesday, November 7, 2006.
 Incumbent Democratic U.S. Senator Paul Sarbanes, Maryland's longest serving United States Senator, decided to retire instead of seeking a sixth term.
 Democratic nominee Ben Cardin won the open seat.
The National Weather Service Duties Act of 2005 was a legislative proposal forwarded in April 2005 by United States Senator Rick Santorum (R-PA) to curtail perceived government competition with commercial weather services from the National Weather Service.
 Though the wording of the bill was generally considered unclear, the general consensus among observers was that its effect would be to eliminate public dissemination of National Weather Service data and forecasts except in case of severe weather alerts.
 The bill attracted no cosponsors in the Senate and eventually died in committee, and was roundly criticized by the general public for threatening to move taxpayer-funded data (currently made available for free) to commercial for-profit channels (i.e. behind a pay wall).
 The bill had very few supporters outside the commercial weather industry.
East Wind: War in the Pacific is a 2016 novel by Eamon McCarthy Earls which discusses a hypothetical future war between China and the United States over Taiwan.
The Crittenden Compromise was an unsuccessful proposal introduced by United States Senator John J. Crittenden (Constitutional Unionist of Kentucky) on December 18, 1860.
 It aimed to resolve the secession crisis of 1860–1861 by addressing the fears and grievances about slavery that led many slave-holding states to contemplate secession from the United States.
United States Senator Henry Cabot Lodge from Massachusetts was the Republican Majority Leader and Chairman of the Committee on Foreign Relations.
 In response to the Treaty of Versailles, Senator Lodge penned twelve reservations to the proposed post-war agreements.
 The Treaty called for the creation of a League of Nations in which the promise of mutual security would hopefully prevent another major world war.
 The League charter which Wilson primarily wrote let the League set the terms for war and peace.
 If the League called for military action all members would have to join in.
 Lodge wanted to join the League of Nations with reservations.
 The Democrats in the Senate, following Wilson's direction, rejected Lodge's proposal to join the League with his reservations.
 Republicans opposed joining under Wilson's terms of no reservations which meant the League could force the U.S. to enter a war without approval of Congress.
 In the end the Senate voted down the Treaty of Versailles in 1919 and never joined the new League of Nations.
 Lodge won in the long run—his reservations were incorporated into the United Nations in 1945, where the U.S. had a veto.
