Download or read book Union-Occupied Maryland written by Claudia Floyd and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2014-07-01 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When the first Federal troops arrived in the spring of 1861, Maryland was in the precarious position of a border state. Predominately loyal to the Union, Marylanders saw the influx of soldiers as defenders. Yet for the minority supporting the Confederacy, the Federals were oppressors. Historian Claudia Floyd explores this complex relationship between Maryland civilians and their Union occupiers. Residents on both sides of the conflict faced pillaging, vandalizing and criminal acts from errant soldiers. Civilians also quickly realized that Federal troops could not guarantee protection from Confederate invasions. Meanwhile, there was a strong backlash over African American emancipation and enlistment in the longtime slave state. Through contemporary accounts, Floyd creates a nuanced portrait of citizens and soldiers caught up in the turbulent upheaval of war.

Download or read book A Year in the Guard, Company A 1st Eastern Shore Maryland Infantry, U.S. written by Kimberly B. Baynard and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2012-04-18 with total page 125 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In September 1861 the men of Company A enlisted for three years in the Union Army during the American Civil War. Initially their regiment was intended to serve on the Eastern Shore of Maryland as Home Guard. On August 16, 1862, those men were discharged after only eleven months of service. Some claim that their discharge was the result of the men's refusal to cross the state line into Eastern Virginia. A Year in the Guard attempts to disprove that claim. The story of Company A begins with their enlistment and encampment in Cambridge, Maryland, and follows them through their participation in the invasion into Eastern Virginia. Their duties and camp life are illustrated through newspapers and personal accounts, while military records suggest that the men in fact did not refuse orders and were honorably discharged. A Year in the Guard is a work that sheds light on a previously unexplored aspect of Delmarva history."--

Download or read book Maryland, My Maryland written by James A. Davis and published by University of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2019-01-01 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Historians have long treated the patriotic anthems of the American Civil War as colorful, if largely insignificant, side notes. Beneath the surface of these songs, however, is a complex story. “Maryland, My Maryland” was one of the most popular Confederate songs during the American Civil War, yet its story is full of ironies that draw attention to the often painful and contradictory actions and beliefs that were both cause and effect of the war. Most telling of all, it was adopted as one of a handful of Southern anthems even though it celebrated a state that never joined the Confederacy. In Maryland, My Maryland: Music and Patriotism during the American Civil War James A. Davis illuminates the incongruities underlying this Civil War anthem and what they reveal about patriotism during the war. The geographic specificity of the song’s lyrics allowed the contest between regional and national loyalties to be fought on bandstands as well as battlefields and enabled “Maryland, My Maryland” to contribute to the shift in patriotic allegiance from a specific, localized, and material place to an ambiguous, inclusive, and imagined space. Musical patriotism, it turns out, was easy to perform but hard to define for Civil War–era Americans.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the American Civil War, Maryland did not join the Confederacy but nonetheless possessed divided loyalties and sentiments. These divisions came to a head in the years that followed the war. In Loyalty on the Line, David K. Graham argues that Maryland did not adopt a unified postbellum identity and that the state remained divided, with some identifying with the state’s Unionist efforts and others maintaining a connection to the Confederacy and its defeated cause. Depictions of Civil War Maryland, both inside and outside the state, hinged on interpretations of the state’s loyalty. The contested Civil War memories of Maryland not only mirror a much larger national struggle and debate but also reflect a conflict that is more intense and vitriolic than that in the larger national narrative. The close proximity of conflicting Civil War memories within the state contributed to a perpetual contestation. In addition, those outside the state also vigorously argued over the place of Maryland in Civil War memory in order to establish its place in the divisive legacy of the war. By using the dynamics interior to Maryland as a lens for viewing the Civil War, Graham shows how divisive the war remained and how central its memory would be to the United States well into the twentieth century.

Download or read book Prince George's County and the Civil War written by Nathania A. Branch Miles and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2013-11-12 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bordered by the Federal capital but separated from Virginia and the Confederacy only by the Potomac River, the citizens of Prince George's County found themselves on the front lines of the Civil War. As Maryland's largest slave-owning county, some--including members of the Bowie and Surratt families--joined the Confederacy. Many remained loyal to the Union, losing sons and property for the cause. Three forts in the county were dedicated to the capital's defense: Fort Foote, Fort Washington and Fort Lincoln. This did not prevent Confederate general Jubal Early's troops from invading in July 1864. The Rebel forces blew up rail lines in Beltsville and took the Rossborough Inn near the Maryland Agricultural College--now the University of Maryland, College Park--as their headquarters. "Prince George's County and the Civil War: Life on the Border" charts the course of a community caught in the midst of the bloodiest conflict in American history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There were over 75 raids and battles that took place in Maryland during the Civil War, including "Bloody Antietam"--the bloodiest day in American military history. As a border state between the North and South during the Civil War, Maryland's loyalties were strong for both sides. The first casualties of the war occurred during the Baltimore Riot of April 19, 1861, when members of the 6th Massachusetts Regiment were attacked by Confederate supporters while traversing through the city on their way to protect Washington, DC, from attack. Ten days later, Maryland chose not to secede from the Union by a vote of 53-13. On September 17, 1862, near Sharpsburg, one of the largest and bloodiest battles of the Civil War took place at "Bloody Antietam." At the end of the day, nearly one in four men would be a casualty of the battle, making it the bloodiest day in American military history. There were over 75 skirmishes, raids, and major battles that took place in Maryland during the Civil War. Through vintage photographs, Maryland in the Civil War shares the state's rich military heritage.

Download or read book The Maryland and Fredericksburg Campaigns, 1862-1863 written by Perry Jamieson and published by . This book was released on 2019-06-23 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Maryland and Fredericksburg Campaigns, 1862-1863, continues the series of campaign brochures commemorating our national sacrifices during the American Civil War. Authors Perry D. Jamieson and Bradford A. Wineman examine the Maryland Campaign and the Battle of Antietam, the bloodiest day in American history. The battle ended in a tactical draw, but strategically it was a great success for the Union. The Confederate retreat gave President Abraham Lincoln the victory he wanted before he issued the Emancipation Proclamation. Whereas the events of September 1862 inspired optimism in the North, the Battle of Fredericksburg in Virginia three months later represented the low point of the Union war effort. In this conflict, General Robert E. Lee's Army of Northern Virginia defeated the Union forces led by Maj. Gen. Ambrose Burnside's Army of the Potomac. By halting the Army of the Potomac's drive on Richmond in December 1862, the Battle of Fredericksburg had set the stage for a second Confederate invasion of the North in 1863.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The most contentious event in our nation's history, the Civil War deeply divided families, friends, and communities. Both sides fought to define the conflict on their own terms -- Lincoln and his supporters struggled to preserve the Union and end slavery, while the Confederacy waged a battle for the primacy of local liberty or "states' rights." But the war had its own peculiar effects on the four border slave states that remained loyal to the Union. Internal disputes and shifting allegiances injected uncertainty, apprehension, and violence into the everyday lives of their citizens. No state better exemplified the vital role of a border state than Maryland -- where the passage of time has not dampened debates over issues such as the alleged right of secession and executive power versus civil liberties in wartime. In Maryland Voices of the Civil War, Charles W. Mitchell draws upon hundreds of letters, diaries, and period newspapers to portray the passions of a wide variety of people -- merchants, slaves, soldiers, politicians, freedmen, women, clergy, civic leaders, and children -- caught in the emotional vise of war. Mitchell reinforces the provocative notion that Maryland's Southern sympathies -- while genuine -- never seriously threatened to bring about a Confederate Maryland. Maryland Voices of the Civil War illuminates the human complexities of the Civil War era and the political realignment that enabled Marylanders to abolish slavery in their state before the end of the war.

Book excerpt: Crossroads of War brings into sharp focus a cross-section of little known happenings of both civilians and the military. Angela Kirkham Davis writes in 1862 as the events of Antietam swirled about her home; Lutie Kealhofer, of Hagerstown, glories in meeting Lee, Longstreet, and Pickett near her home in 1863, only days before Gettysburg; Young Leighton Parks visits General Lee and is given a ride on his horse, Traveller, and Mrs. Howard Kennedy, of Hagerstown, nurses young Oliver Wendell Holmes back to health after Antietam. Also included are the tragic stories of the 125th Pennsylvania's Color Sergeant, and the little known fate of the tiny Dunker Church at Antietam, and its stolen Bible. From the unpublished diary of Private James Dorrance, Co. A, 7th Maryland Infantry, we learn of camp life, and are saddened by the tragic loss of his best friend in battle. Here, also, is Dr. J. M. Gaines' unpublished list of wounded Confederate soldiers confined to the Hagerstown Seminary Hospital in 1863. These are eyewitness accounts of moments in Washington County history, a piece of the fabric that is altogether American History.
