Yes, the correct answer is d) The Union capital was not surrounded by hostile territory.
To arrive at this answer, we can analyze each option and understand how it relates to the Union's benefit of holding Maryland:
a) Maryland had a well-trained militia and officers: While this could be advantageous, it does not directly explain how holding Maryland benefited the Union strategically.
b) Maryland had more railroads than any other state at the time: Although having more railroads could have been useful for transportation and logistics, it does not specifically address how holding Maryland benefited the Union strategically.
c) The Confederate capital was bordered by Union territory: This option explains a potential benefit for the Union, as having Maryland as a border state meant that the Confederate capital, located in Richmond, Virginia, was surrounded by Union-controlled territory. However, this option does not directly relate to the Union's hold on Maryland.
d) The Union capital was not surrounded by hostile territory: This option directly addresses a key advantage for the Union. By holding Maryland, which bordered the Union capital of Washington, D.C., the Union ensured that its own capital was not surrounded by hostile Confederate territory. This made it easier for the Union government to operate and maintained a level of security for its leadership.
Therefore, option d) is the most accurate answer explaining how the Union benefited from holding Maryland.
