	Negative on this one, Ron.  Maryland never seceded.  An unauthorize=
d
group of legislators left Annapolis attempting to convene an illegal
secession convention but they were arrested by Major General Benjamin
Franklin Butler to prevent the proposed unconstitutional act.  He was in a
bad mood because secessionists had rioted in Baltimore and fired on =
Federal
troops while they were passing peacefully thru the United States state of
Maryland on legitimate business.

Which is why they didn't secede.
