One refers to the state's early abolition of slavery in 1864. The other, perhaps more popular origin, comes from a 1920s editorial by H.L. Mencken in the Baltimore Evening Sun, where he sarcastically referred to Maryland as the "Free State" for its resistance to Prohibition. * America in Miniature: This nickname highlights the state's diverse geography, which includes coastal plains, marshlands, rolling hills, and mountains, offering a wide range of landscapes within a relatively small area. Souvenir: It's a collectible item, ideal for those who love Maryland or unique mugs.  No cracks or chips!
