The coastal section acquired in 1834 formed a colony andexplained state independence in the same year, but united with the neighboring Republic of Liberia in 1857. James Hall John B. Russwurm  Title of the Constitution of 1834 On February 12, 1834, the West African state became Maryland in Africa At the instigation of the Maryland State Colonization Society initially officially founded as a colony. The intended foundation of the state at Cape Palmas was part of a planned transfer of former slaves from the area of \u200b\u200bthe US state of Maryland to West Africa. Harper was founded as the capital. The place name is reminiscent of the US politician General Robert Goodloe Harper (1765\u20131825) that this was a supporter of the return efforts of African Americans on the part of the American colonization companies. It was also General Harper’s idea to give the area bought on the West African coast the promising name “Liberia – Land of Freedom”. [first] James Hall had been determined as the first governor of the colony, he took this office to the United States until his illness -related return (malaria?) In 1839. John Brown Russwurm, an ambitious Americo liberian who had already worked as a teacher in Monrovia and regarded the newly founded colony of Maryland as his life’s work. John B. Russwurm also took care of the economic concerns of the colony, during his term as governor he personally checked the foreign trade, income and expenditure of colonial administration and ensured the monetary stability of his own currency. [2] In 1856 a bloody war began with the peoples of the Grebo and the Kru, which the immigrants wanted to drive away from their territorial areas. There were several raids on mission stations, farms and plantations, and 26 colonists were killed. In this emergency, Boston Jenkin’s Drayton, President of Maryland, asked Monrovia for military help, which was granted to him immediately. At this point, Drayton and his colonists realized that they could no longer secure the state independence and development of Maryland in the future, on March 18, 1857, state independence was therefore abandoned and the association with the brother state Liberia was carried out. [3] Today’s Liberian County Maryland was formed from the larger, western part of the territory. The eastern part of Maryland was ceded to the French-West Africa colony in 1891 at the French government and is currently part of the Ivory Coast.
