July 1877 CE
...the militia attacks and kills citizens from Baltimore, which results in the strikers and onlookers to retaliate, attacking the troops in turn as they march from their armories towards B&O's Camden Station for the train to Cumberland, causing violent street battles between the striking workers and the Maryland militia.
When the outnumbered troops of the 6th Regiment fire on an attacking crowd, they kill ten and wound twenty-five.
The rioters injures several members of the militia, damage engines and train cars, and burn portions of the train station.
On July 21–22, the President sends federal troops and Marines to Baltimore to restore order.
