On the 19th of April, 1880, a portion of the members of the Sixth Massachusetts Regiment again visited Baltimore, and an account of its reception, taken from the Baltimore Sun and the Baltimore American, seems to be a fitting close to this paper: "Thirty-nine members of the Association of Survivors of the Sixth Massachusetts Union Regiment came to Baltimore yesterday afternoon, to celebrate the nineteenth anniversary of their march through Baltimore, April 19, 1861, which gave rise to the riot of that day. The visitors were met, on landing from the cars at President-street Depot, by Wilson, Dushane and Harry Howard Posts, Grand Army of the Republic, in full uniform, with band and drum corps. The line was up Broadway to Baltimore street, to Barnum's Hotel. A file of policemen, with Marshals Gray and Frey, kept the street open for the parade. The streets were crowded with people. The Massachusetts men wore citizen's dress and badges." Wilson Post No. 1, of theflrand Army of the Republic, received the visitors in their hall, Rialto Building, at two o'clock. Commander Dukehart, of Wilson Post, welcomed the guests in a brief speech, and then introduced Comrade Crowley, of the old Sixth, who said: "' Nineteen years ago I was but a boy. A few days before the 19th of April, the militia of Middlesex County were summoned for the defensetof the National Capital. We left workshops, desk and family, to come to the defense of the capital. We thought we were, coming to a picnic; that the people of South Carolina were a little off their balance, and would be all right on sober second thought. A few miles out from Baltimore the Quartermaster gave us each ten rounds of ammunition. We had been singing songs. The Colonel told us he expected...

Book excerpt: This thesis explores the Baltimore Riot of April 19, 1861 during the American Civil War (1861-1865). Here the first deaths of the war occurred when Massachusetts soldiers attempted to journey through Baltimore onto the nation's capital Washington, D.C. An armed clash between local citizens and Northern troops ensued. Four soldiers were killed while another twelve Baltimoreanssuffered the same fate. Despite being the place of the first deaths, the Baltimore Riot has been an under represented event in Civil War history and memory. It is this thesis' aim to go beyondaccepting that the Riot was result of a secessionist mob and longstanding tensions within the city. The thesis is divided into three main chapters. The first chapter will investigate howhistorians have reported and handled this event as a part of the war's history and the ways the Riot has been passed down through memory. In this section I will show how the Baltimore Riot has been a difficult event for Civil War historians and commemorators to reconcile with the established understandings of this conflict. I will show how the Riot and the crowd has been classified into the arguments of self defence, traitors, and a composite stance where the crowd was solely a secessionists uprising while the majority of Baltimoreans remained loyal citizens to the Union cause. Chapter Two will analyse and compare the 1861 Riot to Baltimore's long history of public violence in particular the riots of the 1850s. Here I look at three events during the earlier decade - the 1856 Municipal Election Riots, the 1857 Seal Strike, and the 1858 and 1859 Caulker Riots. Through these events I will show that the Baltimore Riot of 1861 was far larger and incorporated all of the past methods and strategies into this one event. As such the 1861 Riot's scale and ferocity make this event more than a typical Baltimore style riot and says more about the longstanding practices of violence in the city. Chapter Three will explore the reasons and rationales of why Baltimoreans attacked the Massachusetts soldiers on April 19, 1861. These motivations are rumours and anxiety, and identity and self defence. To achieve this objective I will use testimonies of the people who witnessed, participated and lived through the Riot. These testimonies will come from Grand Juries, Maryland State Legislature sessions, diaries, letters and reminiscences and memoirs. The main purpose is to go inside the crowd and understand why the Riot resulted and to show that the crowd was not only secessionists but comprised from across a far broader social spectrum of Baltimoreans. Overall, I want to show that the Baltimore Riot as the place of the Civil War's first deaths deserves greater recognition and appreciation, and that its size and intensity stands apart from the city's lineage of rioting and violence. For me the Baltimore Riot is more than a riot perpetrated by a secessionist mob as it has more in common with being a battle. With this in mind the Riot needs to be considered as a more significant event at the start of the American Civil War.
