Why did Baltimore have them in the first place? Is West Point academy located there? Because that would make sense.

On one hand, I'm kind of against throwing out our history like this.

It's hardly "throwing out our history" when the monuments themselves were blatant attempts to whitewash the Confederate legacy. Attempts to erase history do not deserve to be remembered.

Maryland was a northern slave state, until abolished after the civil war ended. The Emancipation Proclamation did not free slaves in the states in the union.

I work in Baltimore and even I didn't know they were gonna take them down that fast.

I just heard that the council voted (unanimously) to remove them, but was surprised at how quick about it they were. Gonna do some drive bys today just to see.

the "northern slave states" which are actually southern states that decided to not become traitors voluntarily gave up slavery before the 13th amendment.

Sure, the Emancipation Proclimation was a token formality, but so was the constitutional amendment at that point. Slavery had ended by the time it was passed.
