This document outlines research questions about the enslaved landscape at St. Mary's Manor in Maryland from 1774 to around 1900. It discusses the ownership and development of the property over time by the Mackall, Brome, and Ashcom families and how the landscape changed with slave quarters, agricultural areas, and other buildings being constructed or moved. The document poses questions about how these changes affected the enslaved community on the plantation and their social status, and how the landscape shifted with emancipation after the Civil War.
