As a fervently abolitionist and strongly Republican state, Maine contributed a higher proportion of its citizens to the Union armies than any other, as well as supplying money, equipment and stores. No land battles were fought in Maine. The only episode was the Battle of Portland Harbor (1863) that saw a Confederate raiding party thwarted in its attempt to capture a revenue cutter.

  • L'État du Maine durant la guerre de Sécession est une source de main-d’œuvre militaire, de ravitaillement, de navires, d'armes et de soutien politique pour l'armée de l'Union. Le Maine est le premier État du nord-est à être en ligne avec le nouveau parti républicain, d'une part en raison du protestantisme évangélique et d'autre part du fait que le Maine est un état frontalier, et ainsi réceptif à la plate-forme du parti du « sol libre ». Abraham Lincoln choisit Hannibal Hamlin du Maine comme son premier vice-président, et aurait dit lors d'une rencontre avec la romancière Harriet Beecher Stowe (auteur de la Case de l'oncle Tom), quelque chose d'approchant à : « ainsi voici la petite dame qui a fait cette grande guerre ».
