Maryland State Seal

Maryland State Seal
 
Arguably one of the most divided states in the Union at the War's outbreak, Maryland held simpathies to both sides.  Marylanders filled the ranks of regiments both North and South, both proudly wearing their state's seal in the war's early years.
 
The images displayed on the  seal are a plowman, a fisherman, and a shield with Maryland's coat of arms. The Latin phrase encircling the seal "Scuto bonæ voluntatis tuæ coronasti noss" translates as "With favor wilt thou compass us as with a shield." Maryland's state motto.  Appearing on a banner below the shield is in Italian: "Fatti maschii, parole femine," which translates loosely as "Manly deeds, womanly words," expressed as "Strong deeds, gentle words".
