On September 8, 1862, General Robert E. Lee was headquartered near Fredericktown, Maryland. He issued his proclamation to Maryland's citizens carrying the theme that the Federal government had violated their Constitutional rights. He cited the unlawful arrests and abuse the US government had laid upon the people of Maryland. Lee promised the people of Maryland a return to their rights that the US government had taken away from them unlawfully.
