A HOUSE DIVIDEDH H H H H H

In 1861, Baltimore found itself in a civil war fought on the docks, streets, waters, and farms of the South’s northernmost city, home of the

“Star-Spangled Banner.” The flag had helped unite the young nation in 1814, but 47 years later it represented despotism and tyranny to some Americans, while to others it symbolized “a high and delicate trust” to preserve the Union. In February, distrust and threats of disunion culminated in the midnight passage of president-elect Abra-ham Lincoln through Baltimore to thwart a rumored assassination attempt.

On April 19, five days after the Union surrendered Fort Sumter, South Carolina, the tensions in Balti-more exploded in violence. Confeder-ate sympathizers attacked Massachu-setts troops en route to Washington, D.C. along the Pratt Street waterfront. The war’s first casualties fell in Balti-more’s streets, inspiring Marylander James E. Randall to write the intensely pro-Southern “Maryland, My Maryland,” which became the state song in 1939. By summer, Union troops occupied strategic rail and shipping depots to guard communication lines to Washington. Lincoln’s suspension of habeas corpus resulted in the temporary imprison-ment of the Maryland legislature and Balti-more’s government. U.S. troops garrisoned Federal Hill and Fort McHenry, aimed their guns at the city, and ensured Federal con-trol for the remainder of the war. In June 1861, an officer wrote, “The loss of Balti-more would have been the loss of Maryland; the loss of Maryland would have been the loss of the national capital, and perhaps, if not probably, the loss of the Union cause.”

Baltimore became U.S. Middle Depart-ment headquarters on March 22, 1862, to coordinate regional military activities. After the Battle of Antietam on September 17, during the first Confederate invasion of the North, the city received thousands of wounded, transforming parks, warehouses, churches, and hotels into hospitals. Fort McHenry became a prisoner-of-war transfer facility and nearby Locust Point served as a munitions depot, with supplies transported to the front from Baltimore and Ohio Rail-road terminals. Lincoln used the victory at

Antietam to issue the preliminary Emancipa-tion Proclamation, making the war for the Union a war for freedom as well.

In June 1863, Gen. Robert E. Lee invaded the North a second time, following his stunning victory at Chancellorsville, Virginia. After the Confederates crossed the Potomac River into Maryland, the Union marched in pursuit from the Washington defenses. Baltimore hastily constructed and strengthened barricades and fortifications. On July 3, the city’s residents heard the guns

“Attack on the Massachusetts 6th at Baltimore, April 19th, 1861”

Page 3: MARYLAND CIVIL WAR TRAILS How to Use this Map-Guide · Civil War were similar to its operations throughout the South. From Baltimore to the Virginia Capes, naval vessels tightly blockaded

of Gettysburg, 50 miles northwest, as “distant thunder.” When word of the Union victory arrived, an officer on Federal Hill wrote, “The good news from Gettysburg made all hearts rejoice; not so much that Baltimore was safe (though, with a Union defeat the Confederate flag must certainly have waved over it), as that the country was safe, and the whelming tide of invasion was turned.” Soon, vast num-bers of wounded arrived, and 7,653 prisoners were transported on Balti-more and Ohio Railroad trains for con-finement in Fort McHenry before transfer to Point Lookout and Fort Delaware.

By 1864, war-related business dominated Baltimore’s economy. Lin-coln delivered a fund-raising speech at the city’s U.S. Sanitary Fair in April and spent the night at Mount Vernon Square, a wealthy residential area that three years earlier had been a seces-sionist hotbed. In July, the third and last Confederate invasion ended at the outskirts of Washington, D.C., after the Battle of Monocacy (although a Con-federate victory) had enabled Federal reinforcements to strengthen the capi-tal’s garrison. Baltimore, the nation’s second most-fortified city, added more than 40 forts and redoubts during the war. Early in 1865, they were stripped of men for the final campaigns in Vir-ginia. Late in April, Lincoln’s funeral train stopped in Baltimore while flags at Fort McHenry and elsewhere flew at half staff in honor of the assassinated president and symbolized, as well, all the Americans lost in the conflict.

RAILROADSA HOUSE DIVIDED H H

During the Civil War, Balti-more was the rail center of Maryland and the North’s gateway to the

South. Three railroads terminated there—the Baltimore and Ohio, the Northern Central, and the Philadel-phia, Wilmington and Baltimore—and connections to two others were just outside the city. Because locomo-tives were banned from the city’s streets, passengers either walked or rode in horse-drawn cars between connecting stations. On April 19, 1861, a mob attacked U.S. Army soldiers marching between the two stations en route to Washington, D.C. In what became known as the Baltimore Riots, the crowd threw bricks, and the soldiers opened (or returned) fire. Four soldiers were killed and 39 wounded, while 12 civilians died and “dozens” more were injured. After Federal control was reasserted, Baltimore’s railroads became part of the network supplying the U.S. Army for the rest of the war.

FORT McHENRY

Best known for its association with the “Star-Spangled Ban-ner” during the War of 1812, nearly half a century later, Fort

McHenry played several different roles during the Civil War. After the fall of Fort Sumter, South Carolina, and the Baltimore Riots of April 1861, Maryland Unionists looked to the fort to safeguard their cause in a city with strong support for secession. Gen. William W. Morris’ 2nd U.S. Artillery occupied the fort in May 1861, one of 32 regiments to serve as garrison troops during the conflict. Some of the fort’s guns were trained on Baltimore instead of the Chesapeake Bay, to help curb secessionist ardor and rally loyal citizens.

Lincoln’s suspension of the writ of habeas corpus resulted in the temporary detention and confinement of hundreds of Maryland civilians suspected of disloyalty. Many of them were held at Fort McHenry. Among them was newspaper editor Francis Key Howard, who wrote on September 13, 1861, “[the] day, forty-seven years earlier, my grandfather, Francis Scott Key … wrote the song so popular. … The flag which he proudly hailed, I saw waving, at the same

H H H H H H

place, over the victims of as vulgar and bru-tal a despotism as modern times have wit-nessed.” The civilian prisoners soon had the company of Confederate soldiers, as pris-oners of war were confined on the grounds outside the fort while awaiting transfer to Point Lookout, Fort Delaware, or Johnson’s Island. Their numbers swelled after major battles, particularly those at Sharpsburg, Maryland, in September 1862, and Gettys-burg, Pennsylvania, in 1863. By war’s end, an estimated 15,000 men had been confined at the fort, but only 15 had died there. At least three executions occurred there: two soldiers and a civilian for murder.

Some Union and Confederate officers wounded in combat in the Eastern Theater of war were treated at Fort McHenry’s 60-bed post hospital. James L. Kemper and Isaac R. Trimble were among the notable Confederate generals who survived “Pick-ett’s Charge” at Gettysburg on July 3, 1863. They were transported to downtown Balti-more by railroad and ambulance wagon, treated at city hospitals, then brought to the post hospital to recover and await transfer by steamship to permanent Fed-eral prisoner-of-war installations.

After the Civil War, Fort McHenry was used periodically as an active military post. In 1933, two years after Francis Scott Key’s poem became America’s National Anthem, the fort was transferred to the National Park Ser-vice and designated a National Monument and Historic Shrine.Fort McHenry during the Civil War.

CHESAPEAKE BAYHOSPITAL TOWN

In the weeks following the Battle of Antietam on September 17, 1862, and again after the Battle of Gettysburg in July 1863, Balti-

more became a vast hospital complex for the wounded men who poured into the city. The Antietam casualties arrived on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad from Frederick, Maryland. As thousands of Union and Confeder-ate soldiers hobbled or were carried from the trains, authorities trans-formed 22 churches, hotels and cotton and tobacco warehouses into medical facilities. Nearly all of Baltimore’s public parks still in use today, includ-ing Patterson’s Park, Federal Hill, and Druid Hill Park, as well as other open spaces, were used for hospitals. Thou-sands of the Gettysburg casualties were cared for in downtown Balti-more, while Fort McHenry’s post hos-pital treated many of the Confederate officers wounded during Gen. James Longstreet’s famous assault (often mistakenly called Pickett’s Charge) on July 3, 1863. A pressing need for treat-ing the wounded closer to the battle-fields led to the creation of several relief organizations in Maryland.

The U.S. Navy’s actions in the Chesapeake Bay during the Civil War were similar to its operations throughout the

South. From Baltimore to the Virginia Capes, naval vessels tightly blockaded the coastline to keep desperately needed supplies from Confederate armies, as well as to protect the vast numbers of Union vessels that transported men and supplies to the front. In addition, the navy actively assisted the U.S. Army with amphibious support, while also seeking battle with the ships of the Con-federate navy.

With the fall of Norfolk, Virginia, in 1861, the port of Baltimore became a vital base for the U.S. Navy’s activities in the Chesapeake. The city’s shipyards repaired vessels damaged in battle, while its many steamship companies provided vessels that could be converted for military use. Inland, the navy utilized the city’s industrial power, with Balti-more’s mills producing steam engines for warships as well as armor plating—including that used on USS Monitor.

In July 1864, Confederate Gen. Jubal A. Early, having cleared Virginia’s Shenandoah Valley of Union troops, marched his corps into Maryland

to threaten Baltimore, free Confederate prisoners at Point Lookout and attack Washington, D.C. He and commanding Gen. Robert E. Lee also hoped to lure Union troops away from Petersburg, Virginia, to reinforce the capital’s defenses and, thereby, relieve the pressure on Lee. Early’s maneuver was the South’s third and last invasion of the North.

In response, the Union rushed Gen. Lew Wallace’s force of 5,800 men from Baltimore and an infantry division from Petersburg to confront Early on the banks of the Monocacy River near Frederick, Maryland, on July 9. Called “The Battle That Saved Washington,” the fight was a Confederate victory, but it cost Early a critical day’s march on the U.S. capital. Wallace retreated east on the Baltimore

Turnpike, reinforcing Ellicott Mills, the Thomas Viaduct in Relay, and the depleted defenses of Baltimore. His stubborn defense bought time for troops from Petersburg to reach Washington, D.C. by steam ship and repulse Early’s July 11 attack.

Meanwhile, Confederate Gen. Bradley T. Johnson led his cavalry brigade toward Point Lookout, cutting telegraph lines and burning trains and railroad bridges. Maryland’s own Maj. Harry Gilmor’s detachment engaged Union cavalry and captured Union Gen. William B. Franklin, who later escaped. Gilmor got no closer to Point Lookout than the mouth of the Gun-powder River northeast of Baltimore.

Early retreated to Virginia on July 12, having failed to free the Confederate pris-oners. He succeeded, however, in putting a fright into Washington, D.C. and Balti-more, and his raid temporarily drew Fed-eral troops away from Petersburg.

The Emancipation Proclama-tion, issued January 1, 1863, authorized the recruiting of African Americans as United

States soldiers. Gen. William Birney and his staff raised seven regiments of what were called United States Colored Troops (USCTs)—the 4th, 7th, 9th, 19th, 30th, 39th, and 118th—in Maryland during the Civil War. The Maryland General Assembly offered bounty money to each man who enlisted as well as to owners who freed their slaves for service. Many slaves, however, freed themselves from their masters and ran away to join the Union forces.

Of the sixteen African-American soldiers who received the Medal of Honor during the Civil War, five were Maryland natives: Sgt. Maj. Christian A. Fleetwood, Baltimore, 4th USCT; Sgt. Alfred B. Hilton, Harford County, 4th USCT; Sgt. Decatur Dorsey, Howard County, 39th USCT; and Pvt. William H. Barnes and Sgt. James H. Harris, St. Mary’s County, 38th USCT.

Abraham Lincoln came to Baltimore three memora-ble times between 1861 and 1865. The first occa-

sion was before dawn on February 23, 1861, en route to his inauguration in Washington, D.C. When detective Allan Pinkerton feared that a pro-Confederate mob might attack Lincoln’s carriage as he transferred from President Street Station to Camden Station, the president-elect agreed to slip quietly from one station to the other and safely on to Washington, D.C. Later that day, a pro-Confederate mob harassed Mary Todd Lincoln, traveling sepa-rately, as she transferred trains. As president, Lincoln returned to Balti-more on April 18, 1864, to speak at the Maryland State Fair for Soldier Relief, almost three years to the day after the Baltimore Riot, in which Confederate sympathizers attacked U.S. Army troops on their way south to the capital. Lincoln was so impressed with the positive change in the city’s political climate that he referred to it in his speech as “both great and gratifying.” Lincoln’s third passage through Baltimore was on the morning of April 21, 1865, six days after his assassination, when the funeral train arrived at Camden Station. After a procession through the city and a public view-ing in the Merchant’s Exchange, Lincoln’s body was transferred to the train that carried him home to Springfield, Illinois, for burial.

Although many Marylanders served on the Civil War’s los-ing side, several former Con-federates afterward played

prominent roles in their native state. Adm. Franklin Buchanan, who com-manded CSS Virginia (formerly USS Merrimack) the day before its famous battle with USS Monitor, served as pres-ident of Maryland Agricultural College, now the University of Maryland. Maj. Harry Gilmor, the partisan cavalry commander, returned to Baltimore as a businessman, city police commissioner, and colonel in the Maryland National Guard. Col. Henry Kyd Douglas, junior member of Jackson’s staff who wrote I Rode with Stonewall, became a lawyer, judge, and commander of the Maryland National Guard.

It is often said that the victors in a war get to write its history, but Mary-land’s vanquished contributed greatly to the war’s history and liter-ature. Seventeen former Confederates pub-lished reminiscences about Maryland’s role in aiding the Confederacy as com-pared to five Unionists.
