The Baltimore riot of 1861 (also called the "Pratt Street Riots" and the "Pratt Street Massacre") was a civil conflict on Friday, April 19, 1861, on Pratt Street, (beginning at the President Street Station and President Street and continuing ending on Howard Street at the Camden Street Station) in Baltimore, Maryland, between antiwar "Copperheads" Democrats (the largest party in Maryland), as well as Southern / Confederate sympathizers, and members of the primarily Massachusetts and some Pennsylvania state militia regiments en route to the national capital at Washington called up for Federal service.
