Marylands Civil War historyunique, controversial, of enduring interesthas always been a rich vein of state remembrance. In the first phase of this history, Confederate and Union soldiers, often years after the war, published their accounts of what one called the story of what [soldiers] saw and experienced in the great civil war for the Union, an approach described by historian Carol Reardon as What Happened to Me. Their memories mirrored the divided allegiances that characterized Marylands anomaly as a border slave state supporting the Union, a state that contained pockets of opposition to the Lincoln government and that was initially characterized by clamorous minority support for the Confederacy. Most Marylanders endorsed the Union to some degree, but the states allegiance in the early days of the war became a flash point of historical contention.
This text will further illuminate the complexities of Marylands Civil War story, which remains an important part of national memory. In the last analysis the racial injustice at the root of that experience, and our ongoing, if flawed, efforts to confront inequality today, continue to define who we are, and aspire to be, as Americans.

FOREWORD

T he Civil War has never quite ended in Maryland. As I write this, 160 years since the first blood was shed, at least one young Confederate still stands unvanquished here on the states Eastern Shore. Having stood sentry duty for more than a century in front of the Talbot County courthouse, that rebel volunteerhis boyish features molded in coppercontinues stoutly to resist all efforts to remove him. Even as dozens of similar monuments have toppled all across the heartland of the former Confederacy, local officials insist that this one serves an essential purpose.
