Don’t anyone forget that Maryland was dragooned into staying with the Union. The state song begins thus:
“The tyrant’s heel is at thy door, Maryland my Maryland.”
The `tyrant’ it referes to was not Jefferson Davis!
You are correct.
my friend, larry denton, published a book, “a southern star for maryland”.
his theory is that lincoln garrisoned baltimore with federal troops to prevent maryland from siding with the confederates, in which case, dc would have been surrounded.
“The state song begins...”
Well, they are trying to get rid of the state song, too. I will say this: there are certain parts of Maryland that will put up a good fight on the PC war. Southern Maryland is one of the... Western Maryland is another. That being said, I have the feeling that Big Negro Mountain will have a name change in the immediate future.
