Summary
A week of terror began when the rebel army crossed the Potomac and entered Frederick. Some residents fled, the rest, prepared for the worst, but were reassured by Gen. Lee's proclamation of impunity for Unionists. Bradley T. Johnson's "insurrectionary appeal" failed to win over many citizens. Several named local men were recruiting for the rebel army.
