Confederate infantry re-enactors participate in the Battle of Bloody Lane during an event to mark the 150th anniversary of the Battle of Antietam in Sharpsburg, Maryland, on September 15, 2012. The Battle of Antietam was fought on September 17, 1862 and was the bloodiest battle in American history with more than 23,000 men killed, wounded, and missing in one single day.(Alex Wong/Getty Images)

Some old drawings of Civil War Maryland.

1. Antietam, September 17, 1862.

2. Aftermath of the Baltimore Riots, where the governor orders all the bridges out of Baltimore to be burned.

3. Virginia urges secession, April 1861. 

4. Maryland’s jovial relationship with Abraham Lincoln.

Maybe it makes it look like I don’t care, even though I do.

A lot. 

Maybe too much.

Damn this social ineptitude.
