On April 24, 1861, the midshipmen of the Naval Academy relocated their base in Annapolis and were temporarily housed in Newport, Rhode Island, until October 1865.

In 1861, the first of three camps that were built for holding paroled soldiers was created on the campus of St. John's College.
The second location of Camp Parole would house over 20,000 and would be located where Forest Drive is currently.
The third and final location was finished in late 1863 and would be placed near the Elkridge Railroad, as to make transportation of soldiers and resources easier before and allowing the camp to grow to its highest numbers.
This area just west of the city is still referred to as Parole.
The soldiers who did not survive were buried in the Annapolis National Cemetery.
