Frederick County a cradle of pivotal events in U S history
Frederick County stands at the nation’s history fore in its 250th year with claims to early tax conflicts and revolutionary acts. It cites the 1764 stamp act resistance by local justices, a parade, and a coffin with the levy order, plus a 1765 repudiation and a memorial at the courthouse. The Dred Scott decision ties to Roger Taney of Frederick, now a museum home, and Key’s link to the national anthem. The county’s role includes Maryland’s choice not to secede and the nearby Battle of Monocacy safeguarding Washington.
