Abstract

The article focuses on the actions of Maryland Governor Thomas Holliday Hicks in relation to the secession crisis of the state. This highlights the issues regarding the decline of the ordinance of secession, the refusal to convene a citizen's convention and the failure to pass the Public Safety Bill. In particular, actions undertaken by Hicks concerning the civil unrest in the state like his delayed decision to convene the General Assembly are taken into consideration.
