What steps taken by the Federal government resulted in the Maryland legislature to vote against secession?
One of the first indications that there was a strong sentiment for Maryland to join the Confederacy arose from an incident that resulted in a riot and deaths of Maryland citizens. When a regiment of soldiers from Massachusetts headed south to Washington DC, a conflict developed when a mob in Baltimore attacked these troops. The soldiers fired into the crowd killing eleven rioters. This resulted in even more turmoil. Roaming citizen gangs went on a three day rampage destroying Federal property and tearing up railway tracks to prevent Northern troops to move south.Union General was gravely concerned and had Federal buildings sand bagged for protection in case the rioters attacked the capital.
US President Lincoln solved the Maryland problem by use of force. General Benjamin Butler was leading another Massachusetts regiment south and was ordered to occupy the Maryland State capital at Annapolis. The city was placed under martial law and artillery was also sent to the city. It was made clear to the people of Maryland that any disruption of US troop movements in Maryland would result in military action. With these actions, the Maryland legislature voted against session.
