Christiana Resistance of 1851 Revisited

January 21 @ 2 - 3:30 PM

Location: Historical Society of Baltimore County | 9811 Van Buren Ln, Cockeysville, MD 21230

In November 1849, Noah Buley, Nelson Ford, and George and Joshua Hammond, fled Edward Gorsuch’s Retreat Farm in northern Baltimore County and found refuge from slavery in Christiana, Pennsylvania. On September 11, 1851, Gorsuch, accompanied by a US Marshal and posse, legally entered Pennsylvania and quietly approached a house where several of the men were living. By noon, the ensuing chaos left one man dead and several injured. The Christiana Resistance was the first deadly resistance to the Fugitive Slave Law.

The events that unfolded at Christiana, Pennsylvania in September 1851 highlight that the strained relations between Maryland and Pennsylvania were a microcosm of what was happening on a national level on the eve of the Civil War. This presentation will highlight the responses of Marylanders to the many acts of resistance on that fateful day in Pennsylvania as well as the impact on local and national events.
