Maryland was a critical factor in the US Civil War. If it had joined the Confederacy, Washington DC would have been isolated as it would be surrounded by Confederate states. The capitol of the US would have been relocated. This could have been Philadelphia or even New York City. If Maryland had joined the Rebel states, it would have influenced the US Civil War, but it would not necessarily determined the outcome of the war.
