From Ashley Pollitt & Melissa Hovatter:
1. I think that the reason why there were so many people on both sides because Maryland was split up during the war.
2. I think that troops would be called upon to stop protesting because some people have a lot of protest for little things like the O.J scandel in 1994. I think that troops would come today because when people have protest it usually crowds the streets and roads.
From Ashley Adkins:
1. I think there were so many people on both sides of Maryland during the Civil War because Maryland was split up into two parts.
2. The troops would be called upon to stop the protests because people have such little needs for protests like the O. J. Simson trial in 1994. But Also, people have the right to protest on what they want to protest about. And the people have to show their feelings.
From Tessa Newhouse:
1) I think that there were so many people on each side in Maryland during the war because Maryland was a slave state, but most people couldn't afford slaves in Maryland, and wanted them freed.
2) Troops should be called on for violent protests, but if there are just people marching for something they don't like, no troops should be called, and yes, I think that would happen again.
From Quinnisha Smith:
I think there are so many people on both sides because it divides Maryland right in half.
From Ashley Rowbottom:
1) I think that there were so many people on both sides in Maryland because It is a good place to stop and it is almost right in the middle of the dividing line of sides.
2) I think that troops would be called upon to stop protesting because if they didn't alot of people would be killed and then there would be less people to fight. Yes, I do think that police not troops would be called upon to stop protests to calm people down.
From Ashley Workman:
1. I think that there were so many people on both sides of Maryland during the Civil war because some people might believe in slaves and some might not.
2. I think that troops were called on to stop people from protesting was because some people would have gotten a little sick of people protesting. I mean I would too.
From Amanda
Hello, this is Amanda again. I am here to answer some more of your questions.
1) Because Maryland was right in the middle sort of and it was split in half. So people had different opinions and some Marylanders had slaves while others didn't.
2) I think troops would come because some protests could get out of hand. That's right. There could start another battle there.
From Leslie Dyson:
1) I think there were so many people on both sides because Maryland is in the middle of the north and south near the middle and they were crossing back and forth.
2) I think troops would be called upon to stop people from protesting to stop the trouble before it starts. And I think it would happen today because thy would want to stop the trouble so they would not have to do more than they have to.
From Olya:
Troops just must be called to protect goverment because they, of course, couldn't resist of Rebellion groups. In my country troops sometimes drive away people who took rally illegaly. It is the same but on a smaller scale.
