Why was it so important that Maryland remain in the union?
The border between Maryland and Virginia is the Potomac River. Washington D.C. is on the north bank of the Potomac, on land ceded to the federal government by the Maryland. Thus, if Maryland had seceeded and joined the Confederacy, the Capital of the United States would have been in the middle of the Confederate States. Washington DC would have had to be evacuated and a new capitol, perhaps New York or Philadelphia might have been chosen. Also, Maryland had a large population, the port of Baltimore and farm products that would have helped the South.
