What role did the Eastern Shore of Virginia find for itself in the Great Unpleasantness? Federal troops occupied various areas to prevent Shore support from reaching across the Bay. Those troops also placed themselves in strategic positions to prevent Maryland from slipping away from the Union. We find men, black and white, of the Shore and supplies contributing to the Southern effort. We also find them contributing to the Union.
