Topic: Maryland Campaign


  
  American Civil War Maryland Battle at Antietam 1862
The First Maryland Infantry was formed from Marylanders who chose to cast their lot with the Confederacy against a Union government that had invaded their state and established martial law, forcing those who disagreed with the invasion of the South to join the Confederates or to submit to what they considered as tyranny.
Maryland did not freely choose to remain in the Union at the outbreak of the Civil War, this book argues: the state was held by brute force.
Maryland was the site of the greatest single day's carnage in American history, at Antietam Creek, and Marylanders on both sides of this brothers' war shot down one another at Front Royal and Gettysburg.

Lee might have said to himself, in the words of Longstreet at Groveton, as he reflected on the positions of his army at the close of the 14th, that the prospect "was not inviting." The two divisions in his immediate presence were not compacted; Longstreet was advising that something else than fighting be done.
The investment of Harper's Ferry was completed during the night of the 14th, and batteries were in position on Maryland and Loudoun heights, and in front of Bolivar heights, ready to enforce Jackson's demand for a surrender on the morning of the 15th.

 Robert E. Lee's Report of the Maryland Campaign
The Maryland Campaign was Lee's first attempt to shift military operations out of Virginia and into Northern territory.
The objects of those campaigns had been frustrated and the designs of the enemy on the coast of North Carolina and in Western Virginia thwarted by the withdrawal of the main body of his forces from those regions.
The condition of Maryland encouraged the belief that the presence of our army, however inferior to that of the enemy, would induce the Washington Government to retain all its available force to provide against contingencies, which its course toward the people of that State gave it reason to apprehend.

 The First Maryland Campaign   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
In the Century for June, 1886, General Longstreet has an article on the Maryland campaign of 1862, which is remarkable for its ill-natured allusions to General Jackson, as well as for its partial view of the campaign and its severe and unfair criticism of General Lee's strategy.
Thus the capture of Maryland Heights was accomplished, not on Friday morning, but some thirty hours later, on Saturday evening, and when McLaws got possession of the Heights, Jackson had been for some hours at Bolivar.
Stuart had suggested to McLaws the propriety of guarding it, and Jackson had cautioned him against the danger of the garrison's attempting to escape into Maryland, but McLaws, no doubt, thought his troops on Maryland Heights sufficiently blocked the road at its base, and the consequence was the escape of the Federal cavalry.

 General George McClellan's Report of the Maryland Campaign
Upon the unfortunate issue of that campaign, I received an intimation from the General-in-Chief that my services were desired for the purpose of arranging for the defense of the capital.
The disappearance of the enemy from the front of Washington and their passage into Maryland enlarged the sphere of operations, and made an active campaign necessary to cover Baltimore, prevent the invasion of Pennsylvania, and drive them out of Maryland.
Being honored with the charge of this campaign, I entered at once upon the additional duties imposed upon me with cheerfulness and trust, yet not without feeling the weight of the responsibilities thus assumed and being deeply impressed with the magnitude of the issues involved.

 Welcome to 12th. Pennsylvania Cavalry
As a reward for their marathon ride, the weary and saddle-sore troopers, and their even wearier mounts, were then permitted to remain in bivouac for several days along the banks of the tributary to the Potomac for which the station had been named.
Despite the exertions of the Yankee troopers, the Rebels' location remained a mystery because the bivouac chosen for the night of September 6 was still far to the east of the enemy.
At the same time that the Union troopers were sniffing about central Maryland, their quarry was slowly spreading out from White's Ferry in a mostly northward direction behind the Monocacy River towards Frederick, Maryland.
