Whilst neighboring Liberia had become independent in 1847, Maryland remained a colony for a further seven years. Following a 1853 referendum,〔(Maryland in Liberia (Liberia), 31 January 1853: Independence ) Direct Democracy 〕 Maryland became a separate independent state on 8 June 1854.〔(Maryland in Liberia (Liberia), 29 March 1854: Constitution ) Direct Democracy 〕
