On April 19, 1861, the Sixth Massachusetts Volunteer Militia Regiment arrived at President Street Station, the southern terminus of the Philadelphia, Wilmington & Baltimore Railroad. As the regiment traveled along Pratt Street toward the B&O's Camden Station, an angry mob and Southern sympathizers attacked it. The first bloodshed of the Civil War had occurred. Four soldiers and twelve Baltimore citizens lay dead in the street.
