With VA seceded, do you have suggestions on how troops from other states were supposed to reach and protect the greatly threatened national capital without crossing MD?

Go down the river instead of overland through the streets of the State's most populous port city.

What river would that be? Baltimore is a port city. The railroads junctioned there. They were only marching through the streets because there was no direct rail connection.

I’m curious if you’d respond similarly to the citizens of Baltimore today attacking and murdering federal troops simply trying to transit to the other side of the city.
