Best describes the events in Maryland in the early days of the Civil War?
A state badly divided between Union and Confederate sentiment. Union troops marching to Washington through Baltmore had to face hostile crowds in the street. Lincoln decided to arrest some leading Southern sympathisers without trial. This caused great protest, but the state did remain loyal. If it had seceded, Washington would have been under serious threat. Lincoln imposed martial law and suspended the writ of habeas corpus (ALS)
