Maryland's location was crucial to the Union during the Civil War because it bordered the Confederate capital of Richmond, Virginia, and was situated between Washington, D.C., and the South. Its proximity to the nation's capital made it vital for defense and communication. Additionally, controlling Maryland helped secure vital transportation routes and resources, as the state had significant railroads and access to the Chesapeake Bay. Keeping Maryland in the Union also prevented the Confederacy from gaining a strategic foothold in the North.
