John Sterett Gittings (1848-1926)
The Gittings family were once wealthy, powerful and prominent in Baltimore, Maryland from the late 18th to early 20th centuries. At one time in the late 19th century they were described as the largest real estate holders in the city, and the largest single taxpayer in the city. The Gittings, known as devout Christians and politically conservative bankers, were also elected politicians, heads of railroads, foreign diplomats, city commissioners, and in one case, an important gay rights activist. They were plantation slave owners during the first few generations, and John Sterett Gittings (1798–1879) was a southern cause sympathizer during the war.

John Merryman
John Merryman (August 9, 1824 – November 15, 1881) of Baltimore County, Maryland, was arrested in May 1861 and held prisoner in Fort McHenry in Baltimore and was the petitioner in the case ''" Ex parte Merryman"'' which was one of the best known ''habeas corpus'' cases of the American Civil War (1861–1865). Merryman was arrested for his involvement in the mob in Baltimore, specifically for his leadership in the destruction of telegraph lines, but was not charged, a right normally ensured by the writ of ''habeas corpus''. The case was taken up by the federal circuit court and its current presiding judge who happened to be Chief Justice Roger B. Taney, a Democratic-leaning Marylander. The reading of Article 1, Section 9 of the U.S. Constitution was in question. Taney believed that the phrase "when in cases of rebellion or invasion the public safety may require it" applied solely to Congress because of its location in Article 1. In ''Ex parte Merryman'', Taney wrote, "If t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
