Chapter 2: Maryland's First patriotic movement in 1861.
On April 12, 186, South Carolina fired on Fort Sumter, and on April 15th President Lincoln issued his proclamation, calling on the States for 75,000 militia to maintain the Union and to redress wrongs already too long endured.
He did not specify the wrongs nor the period of endurance.
With the proclamation went out from the secretary of war a requisition on the governors of each of the States for the State's quota of the 75,000 troops.

When Virginia became one of the Confederate States by the vote of her people, May 24, 1861, the Confederate government, Mr. Jefferson Davis being President, removed to Richmond from Montgomery, Ala., and assumed the charge of military operations all over the Confederacy.
The alities of the Maryland regiment will not be forgotten in the day of action. By order of Gen. Joseph E. Johnston.
The Confederate strategy in the early part of 1861 was to hold armies, or army corps, within supporting distance of each other along the exposed frontier of Virginia.
If one army was attacked the corps to the righ passed him at review or on the march, he always had a pleasant word to say about them.
It is due to the truth of history to say that during the summer and fall of 1861 the first Maryland regiment became as conceited a set of young blades as ever faced a battery or charged a line of battle.
Variety is a virtue in a soldier.
