The fact Baltimore even had Confederate monuments is newsworthy in itself.

Why is that a surprise? Maryland sympathized with the south and would have seceded if not for federal troops moving in.

The state voted to stay in the Union, but there was a huge vocal pro secession movement in the state. Lincoln sent troops to occupy the state and suspended Habeas Corpus to deal with the leaders of confederate movement. They ended up arresting the pro secession Mayor of Baltimore and Police Chief who wanted to burn the railroads and rail cars so Union troops couldn't be transported through the state.
