The President and the Invasion of Maryland
Summary
Comments on Lincoln's praise of Maryland's loyalty in a speech following visit to Antietam. Events of Maryland invasion appear to have changed officials' opinion of loyalty of Maryland. Prior to invasion, Rebel sympathizers threatened loyal Unionists with little or no fear of punishment. Lack of support of citizens during invasion proves Maryland as loyal. [Balto. Clipper]
