Liberia, Africa is located between Sierra Leone and Côte d’Ivoire. Liberia is related to the USA state of Maryland because it merged The Republic of Maryland, the former independent African country, into it in 1857. The Republic of Maryland was first settled in 1834 by freed African-American slaves and freeborn African Americans primarily from the U.S. state of Maryland, under the auspices of the Maryland State Colonization Society. The Republic of Maryland was also formerly called Maryland-in-Africa, the State of Maryland, and Maryland in Liberia.
The Martin Maryland light bomber served with the British and French air forces in WW2, but not with the US.

Horace Wimp and Horace Rumpole are two fictional Brits; Horace Walpole was a real one.
Quintus Horatius Flaccus (65 BC - 8 BC), known in the English-speaking world as Horace, was the leading Roman lyric poet during the time of Augustus (also known as Octavian). His career coincided with Rome’s momentous change from Republic to Empire.

Jeanne d’Arc was burned to death for “heresy” on 30 May, 1431. The only substantiated charge against her was cross-dressing: she wore man’s clothing to deter rape. The clever Bishops tried to trick her into admitting heresy, for example by asking “Are you in God’s Grace?” (Either a Yes or a No answer admits heresy) but were stunned when this illiterate teenage girl outwitted them every time.
Pope Joan is a Medieval religious leader believed by some to have been a female pontiff who reigned over the Roman Catholic Church in c. 855 as Pope John VIII.

It is believed that her story was discovered when she gave birth to her child, which led to her immediate execution.
Anthony Chebatoris is the only person who has been executed within the physical boundaries of Michigan since that state abolished the death penalty in 1846.

In his long tenure as The Ohio State University’s football coach, Woody Hayes made a point of never saying the word Michigan.

As a result of the treaty between the United States and Great Britain which ended the War of 1812 and demilitarized the Great Lakes, each power (Canada was part of the British Empire at the time) was limited to a single warship on the Great Lakes. At the time of the Civil War, the American warship was the USS Michigan, an armed steamship, which Confederates agents unsuccessfully plotted to capture and use in freeing Confederate prisoners held on Johnson’s Island, on Lake Erie near Sandusky, Ohio.
