Well - some of them.

But how to explain that more Marylanders served in the Union Army than in the Confederate? Surely there weren't THAT many would-be Confederate soldiers sitting in Lincoln's prisoners?

Why did Lee find so little native support in each of his campaigns in western Maryland? (And yes, I know that was the most Unionist part of the state.)
