Maryland provided over 42,000 men to the Union in the Civil War. Almost 2,000 fought for the Union at Gettysburg, in three infantry regiments, a cavalry regiment, an independent cavalry company, and an artillery battery. (see the States at Gettysburg) Maryland was a slave state that also provided several Confederate units, some of whom served at Gettysburg; there is a monument to the Second Maryland Infantry (CSA) on Culp’s Hill. The State of Maryland monument honors the Maryland men of both sides.
