Massachusetts militia passing through Baltimore, 1861 (1862-1867).
Massachusetts militia passing through Baltimore, 1861 (1862-1867). Baltimore is the capital of the state of Maryland. Although a slave state, Maryland did not secede from the Union before the outbreak of the Civil War. However, when Union troops marched through the city in April 1861, pro-Confederate sentiment led to rioting. After the disturbances, which resulted in the death of 12 civilians and 4 soldiers, federal troops occupied the city to ensure that Maryland did not secede and leave Washington DC encircled by Confederate territory.
