After Calvert ' s death Governor Greene takes over the responsibilities of the colony and with the aid of Mistress Margaret Brent saves the settlers from invasion of savages. Mistress Margaret Brent demands the right to vote with the members of the Assembly and makes an impassioned appeal to the members. Her appeal is denied, Margaret Brent is not given a vote although she had done much toward the establishment of the colony. The following scene shows Wenlock Christ- ison after his flight from the New England colonies in search of religious freedom. He is welcomed by the friendly farmers and settlers of Maryland and is offered a home. The final scene shows an Assembly Meeting in which it is decided to move the capital of Maryland from St. Mary ' s City to Anne Arundel Town. The settlers left St. Mary ' s and the capital of our state has been Anna- polis ever since. The Pageant performance ends with a rendition of Maryland, My Maryland. 23
