== Loyal Maryland ==
Though Maryland never officially seceded from the Union, its position as a border state tested the allegiance of many of its citizens. Many Marylanders served in units from other states, either as individuals or small units such as companies or batteries. The "Maryland Line" as presented here shows only the units raised in full within the state. A special thank you goes to the Maryland State Archives for digitizing much of the roster information present in this section.

=== Maryland Sailors and Marines in the United States Navy ===
 
 
 Overview
* Over sailors served in the Union Navies from the State of Maryland in the War of the Rebellion (Click for full list)
THE History of the U.S. Navy during the Civil War demonstrated the wonderful genius of our people in energy and inventive skill in improvising and building war vessels. In courage, intelligence and vigilance in handling them and a bravery and dash by both officers and seamen that has never been excelled.
At the commencement of the Civil War in the early spring of 1861, the U. S. Government had at its disposal sixty-nine (69) vessels of war, of which twenty-seven (27) were laid up for repairs. Of the forty two (42) vessels in commission twenty-six (26) were absent on duty in foreign lands, long months elapsed before they could be rendered available, many of them were sailing vessels, old-fashioned frigates, beautiful to behold, but almost useless on the day when steam had become known as the propelling power of war vessels, and coal a "contraband of war."
The service had been rusty from long idleness, in both officers and vessels. "Presto change," four years later the navy of the United States consisted of six hundred and seventy-one vessels. It exceeded that of any other naval power, not excepting England.
America revolutionized the natives of the world, when on the afternoon of the 9th day of March, 1862, at Hampton Roads, the Monitor and the Merrimac fought the first battle of the iron-clads.
The ingenuity of our people both North and South was something marvelous in the productions and improvements in Naval architecture, and the World stood and wondered.
Even the American gun-boats of light draught on our western rivers so eminently adapted for the work committed to them, were marvels in their fashion.
Necessity is indeed the mother of invention, and no one understood this better than the Yankee sailor.
The history of the Maryland sailors and marines in the Civil War for the preservation of the Federal Union 1861-5, is a part of the History of the American Navy during that period, for scarcely a vessel or a squadron in any of their engagements or movements, but what had a Maryland sailor on their shipping lists.
In all of the naval histories of the American Navy the sons of Maryland, bore a conspicuous part and in the War of 1812-5, the Baltimore privateers made a glorious record, and it was an easy matter to particularize and plainly exhibit the distinguished services rendered by the Maryland sailors, but in the Civil War. all were merged in the common cause and it is a difficult matter to do justice to the gallantry of the Maryland sailor, suffice it to say, that they proved themselves worthy of an heroic ancestry, from the beginning to the end of the struggle.
A draft of Baltimore sailors rendered efficient aid with Commodore A. H. Foote's Mississippi River Flotilla in 1861-2, and aided in opening to navigation the Tennessee and Cumberland Rivers, and the capture of Forts Henry and Donelson in February 1862; and again in March 1862 at Island No. 10, the Maryland contingent aided in driving home the entering wedge that caused the Mississippi to flow unvexed to the sea.
In the ill-fated engagement of the Cumberland and Congress with the Merrimac at Hampton Roads, March 8, 1862, the Maryland sailor perished at the guns.
In the splendid naval attack and capture of Port Royal, S. C., in November 1861, the Maryland sailor had a good representation throughout the victorious fleet.
In April 1862, the Maryland sailor, was found in the fleets of Admirals Porter and Farragut in their splendid achievements on the lower Mississippi, that resulted in the capture of New Orleans, and the final surrender of the last obstacles at Port Hudson and Vicksburg, when the Mississippi was opened again to commerce.
In the operations in Charleston Harbor and the capture of Fort Fisher, the Maryland sailors were in the van.
At the great naval battle and victory of Mobile Bay where Farragut immortalized himself and the American Navy, the Maryland sailor was found doing his duty nobly.
In the famous naval battle off the coast of France between the U. S. S. "Kearsarge" and the C. S. S. "Alabama," the Maryland sailor was found behind the guns.
The personnel of the Maryland officers in the U. S. Navy during the Civil War, who have helped make the history of the U. S. Navy glorious embraced such names as Rear-Admiral John Rodgers who in the early days of the War was ordered on special duty in the Mississippi Valley to superintend the building of iron-clads on the Western River, thence back to the Atlantic to lead his Squadron in its advance and battle upon the James River, Va., almost within sight of the Confederate Capitol, until sunken vessels in the channel and other obstructions to navigation precluded further movements, and who again in the naval duel at Warsaw Sound, Ga., June 17, 1863, whilst in command of the Monitor "Weihawken," compelled the surrender within fifteen minutes of the C. S. S. Atlanta.
Rear-Admiral Benjamin F. Sands was present in both attacks of the U. S. fleet on Fort Fisher, N. C., most of the time Senior officer, commanding blockade off Wilmington and also off coast of Texas.
Col. Arthur J. Pritchard, fell wounded at his post of duty on the U. S. naval fleet in their desperate battle incident to the capture of New Orleans in 1862.
Rear-Admiral Augustus H. Kelty aided in the organization of the Naval flotilla on the Mississippi River in 1861-2, and at Island No. 10 and Fort Pillow, did splendid service, commanded the expedition to White River, Arkansas, and on June 17, 1862, at the capture of Fort St. Charles whilst over one hundred of his crew perished in the engagement, he came out of the engagement minus an arm.
Rear-Admiral Hugh Y. Purviance took part in the first battle with the iron-clad "Merrimac," a battle that startled the world, again in command of U. S. S. "St. Lawrence" off Charleston, S. C., sank the C. S. Privateer "Petrel" and received a vote of thanks from the State of Maryland through the General Assembly.
Rear-Admiral John H. Russell complimented by the U. S. Navy Department and the thanks of the Legislature of Maryland, commanded the U. S. Gunboat "Kennebec" with Farragut's fleet in the attack upon Forts St. Philip and Jackson in 1862, and thence in the advance up the river as far as Vicksburg, Miss.
Rear-Admiral Winfield S. Schley, a name now known and honored throughout the civilized world, in 1862-3 commanded batteries in the siege and capture of Port Hudson, La., and throughout the Civil War on active duty passed through a school of experience that laid the foundation for his subsequent brilliant career.
So that it is self-evident that the Maryland contingent in the U. S. Navy during the Civil War 1861-5 was a most valuable factor.

 Maryland Marines

== Rebel Maryland ==
Though Maryland never officially seceded from the Union, its position as a border state tested the allegiance of many of its citizens. Many Marylanders served in units from other states, either as individuals or small units such as companies or batteries. The "Maryland Line" as presented here shows only the units raised in full within the state. A special thank you goes to the Maryland State Archives for digitizing much of the roster information present in this section.
