THE CIVIL WAR IN MARYLAND
The Civil War played an important part in
Maryland’s history. The state was divided in its
loyalties between the Federal and Confederate
causes, though the state lay south of the Mason
Dixon line. The line was originally delineated in
the mid-1700s to settle a property dispute. Charles Mason and Jeremiah Dixon, the two surveyors who mapped the line, will always be known for their famous boundary which runs
along the northern border of Maryland.
