A divided city, in a divided state in a divided nation. That’s where Baltimore, the third-largest city in the United States, found itself at the outbreak of the American Civil War in 1861. It was a city of Unionists and Southern sympathizers. As a nation gripped with slavery, free African Americans comprised one-quarter of its population. The city was a strategic transportation hub, with three railroads and a large port. It became the scene of the first bloodshed – the Pratt Street Riots. Come witness the stories and events of the Pratt Street Riots in this exciting and educational performance during the commemoration of the 150th anniversary of the war that changed America.
