Baltimore in 1869 was a busy Chesapeake port and the home of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, whose shops and offices shaped much of the city's western side. Harbor wharves, oyster canneries, flour mills, tobacco warehouses and a growing clothing trade drew workers from the countryside and from Germany and Ireland, and the population had passed a quarter million by the 1870 census. Only a few years after the Civil War, the city still carried divided loyalties, with many merchants sympathetic to the South, while Reconstruction rules reshaped voting and public life across Maryland. Residents knew Baltimore for its monuments, its public markets, and the Peabody Institute on Mount Vernon Place, whose library and concert hall had opened in 1866.
