Elements in the Border states of Missouri, Kentucky and Maryland that favored a so-called "armed neutrality" angered President Lincoln. The covert purpose of this among its supporters was to exclude any Union armies from occupying the states. Lincoln made it clear that such a policy would provide an impassable wall along the line of separation. And, in fact would aid the Confederates. Lincoln did all he could to not let this policy take root. In Maryland, Union forces prevented this.
