I remember that. It was in Time magazine.
But I also remember Louisville, Ky, at about that same time. I remember seeing the burned out busses on Dixie Highway where people had torched the busses in protest. (Remember, Ky went with the north in the civil war.)
Sadly yes. I remember reading a book a few years back that laid out states that were wavering or on the side of the Confederacy only to be beaten down by the invasion forces. It laid out what may have happened if these states had left the union and it didn't paint a pretty picture for the north. If Maryland would have been able to leave I don't think the war would have lasted very long
