[edit] Article creation

I merely copied the excellent text from the History of Maryland article to get this started. Scott Mingus 04:24, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] POV'ish sentence removed

I removed the following as being more POV than fact (and not relevant to Maryland itself):

Meanwhile, the states of Arkansas and Tennessee, seeing how federal troops acted in the pro-South Union state on April 19, seceded on May 6.

There were many other things at play in those states (Arkansas was already seizing arsenals for one.) The Arkansas secession ordinance does not mention the events in Maryland and neither does Tennessee's. Unless someone can identify a resolution passed at their state conventions that refers to events in Maryland the claim would appear unsupported. Red Harvest (talk) 00:04, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
