Well, Baltimore was put under martial law.

After the occupation of the city, Union troops were garrisoned throughout the state. The governor of Maryland Thomas Holliday Hicks was arrested, as was the whole of the Maryland legislature (which was days from approving secession), and the state was placed under direct federal administration.
