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.

yep... Lincoln instituted martial law in the state to keep Maryland from seceding and thus encircling Washington DC by the CSA

I know that, but in the end Maryland wasn't a part of the CSA and didn't provide much manpower to the South. So yes, it is a little surprising that a Lee and Jackson statue went up in the 1940s.
