Hi Sebas, here's your answer with a few extras.\n\nWhere did Maryland Get Its Name??? \n\nThe charter that Lord Baltimore received from King Charles I of England specified a name for the new colony. It was to be called Maryland to honor King Charles’ wife Queen Henrietta Maria (Queen Mary). \n\nhttp://www.mdkidspage.org/History.htm\n\nColonial Maryland\n\nhttp://www.timepage.org/spl/13timeline.html\n\nhttp://colonialancestors.com/md/maryland.htm\n\nThe American Colonies\n\nThe history of the original 13 colonies is a tangled tale indeed. There are many ways to view the events and, in hind sight, it is easy to think you understand. But no one knew where they were headed at the time and it could have ended up very different.\n\nhttp://www.dasd-ew.org/history.htm#colonial\n\nhttp://www.fordham.edu/halsall/mod/modsbook12.html\n\nhttp://www.usgennet.org/usa/topic/colonial/index.html\n\nhttp://www.timepage.org/spl/13colony.html\n\nGood luck.\n\nKevin, Liverpool, England.

No. It's a country in Africa. By the way one of the most populated on this planet with about 128 million inhabitant.\nMaybe you're thinking of Liberia, which once "belonged" to the USA

Africa. It is called the Federal Republic of Nigeria. \n\nNigeria, one-third larger than Texas and the most populous country in Africa, is situated on the Gulf of Guinea in West Africa. Its neighbors are Benin, Niger, Cameroon, and Chad. The lower course of the Niger River flows south through the western part of the country into the Gulf of Guinea. Swamps and mangrove forests border the southern coast; inland are hardwood forests.\n\nbrownsluv --'White' man, and I'm thinking you mean southern 'white' man since that is where the 'n-word' came from, are no more 'ignorant' than any other geographical area of the USA. The n-word comes from the way Southerners said the word Negro. With the southern accent it came out  'negr' or 'ni**er' .  It really wasn't meant to be a 'bad' word. How ignorant YOU are.

Washington, D.C., is the capital city of the United States of America. "D.C." stands for the "District of Columbia", the federal district containing the city of Washington. The city is named after George Washington, military leader of the American Revolution and the first President of the United States. The District of Columbia and the city of Washington are coextensive and are governed by a single municipal government, so for most practical purposes they are considered to be the same entity. However, although there is a municipal government and a mayor, as per Article I, Section VIII, of the United States Constitution, Congress has the sole authority over this federal district. It is commonly known as the District, D.C., or simply Washington. Historically, it was called the Federal City or Washington City.
