4. SCAMDI_130106_071.JPG: The American's Creed [by William Tyler Page] I believe in the United States of America as a government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed, a democracy in a republic, a sovereign Nation of many sovereign States; a perfect union, one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice, and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes. I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it, to support its Constitution, to obey its laws, to respect its flag, and to defend it against all enemies.

5. SCAMDI_130106_089.JPG: Maryland Remembers: By the dedication of this plaque; she leaves for posterity evidence of her remembrance of her nearly 63,000 native sons who served in the Union forces and the more than 22,000 in those of the Confederacy in the war between the states. In commemorating the centennial of that great struggle between the citizens of the temporarily divided nation in the 1860's, the Maryland Civil War Centennial Commission did not attempt to decide who was right and who was wrong, or to make decisions on other controversial issues. On the contrary, its objective was solely to commemorate important events of the war within the state and to collect and preserve documents and information associated with her involvement. By so doing, it seeks to pay tribute to those who fought and died, as well as to the citizens who, during the Civil War, tried to do their duty as they saw it. Erected and dedicated October 5, 1964

9. SCAMDI_130106_190.JPG: "His voice faltered and sunk, and the whole house felt his agitations." On January 22, 2007, the Maryland State Archives acquired the original draft of George Washington's resignation speech as commander-in-chief of the Continental Army. In addition, the Archives acquired the letter than James McHenry wrote to his future wife, Margaret (Peggy) Caldwell describing the ceremony. It is most appropriate that these two documents will be displayed in the State House, within sight of where this historic event took place. Until this acquisition, Maryland had not owned any documents or artifacts related directly to Washington's resignation. The display of these documents will add immeasurably to the interpretation of the State House and to visitors' understanding of the role that Maryland played in the formation of our nation. James McHenry (1753-1816) emigrated from Ireland to Philadelphia in 1771 and studied at the Newark Academy in Delaware before pursuing a career in medicine under the tutelage of the renowned Dr. Benjamin Rush in Philadelphia. During the American Revolutionary War, McHenry initially served a military surgeon. In 1776, while on the staff of the 5th Pennsylvanian Battalion, the British captured McHenry at Fort Washington, New York. He was later released and in March, 1778, he joined the Continental Army at Valley Forge and was quickly chosen by General George Washington to be his assistant. McHenry continued to serve with Washington until 1780 when he joined the staff of America's great French ally, the Marquis de Lafayette. In 1781, McHenry resigned his military command to enter political life. As a member of the Federalist Party, he served in the Maryland Legislature (1781-1783, 1787-1796), Continental Congress (1783-1786) and as a delegate to the Constitutional Convention. In 1796, President Washington appointed McHenry as Secretary of War and he remained in this post during the presidency of John Adams. Due to political differences with Adams, McHenry resigned his cabinet position in 1800 and retired to his estate in Maryland. James McHenry served the nation and the state of Maryland as a solider [sic], statesman and physician. In his honor, a fort in the design of a five-pointed star was constructed in 1798 at the opening of the Baltimore Harbor to protect the vital port city of Baltimore.
10. SCAMDI_130106_202.JPG: Depictions of General George Washington Resigning his Commission: These monumental paintings depict the scene in the Old Senate Chamber of the Maryland State House on December 23, 1783, when General George Washington resigned his commission as commander-in-chief of the victorious Continental Army. Washington's resignation was delivered at a meeting of the Continental Congress, which convened in Annapolis on November 26. The stiff formality and deference in these paintings were designed to re-emphasize the supremacy of the civilian representatives of the people over the military. Both artists, John Trumbull and Edwin White, took liberties in depicting this solemn event, particularly in their representation of those people in attendance. Most notable in both paintings is the appearance of Martha Washington, who was not in Annapolis, but was awaiting her husband's return at Mount Vernon. John Trumbull further altered the scene by reversing architectural elements in the room, in spite of the fact that he visited the space prior to completing his painting. His sketches from that visit, now in the collection of Yale University, have proven helpful to recent efforts to restore the chamber to its appearance during the late 18th century.
