What former slave from Maryland was made famous during the US Civil War?

Frederick Ausgustus Washington Bailey who was later known during the Civil War period as the Abolitionist, writer and orator as Fredeick Douglas Douglas is probably the correct answer. No he saw no military service except as a spokesman and is considered by many as the Chief Recruiting Officer of the 54th Massachusetts Voluntee Infantry Regiment honored for their service in the Civil War and portrayed in the film Glory (released in 1989 and starring Morgan Freeman as the unit's Seargent Major who was actually the son of Frederick Douglas and Matthew Broderick as the unit's Commanding Officer Colonel Robert Gould Shaw).Harriet Tubman is another Marylander who fits the bill.
