is maryland north or south?

Answer 1

It is south of the Mason-Dixon line so some would say that it is a Southern state, however, they were considered a border state during the Civil War so they did not side with the Confederacy. Interestingly enough, Maryland was a slave state, that was not covered by the Emancipation Proclamation.

Answer 2

It is south of the Mason Dixon Line, and was a pro-southern state before the Civil War. Union Soldiers circled the Maryland state Capitol in Annapolis to insure that it would not secede at the onset of the Civil War. If it had then the Union Capitol (DC) would have been in the Confederacy. Marches took place by citizens in Baltimore in an effort to split away from Annapolis, but they did not end up doing so.

Today Maryland is considered a Mid-Atlantic state with New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania. The political and social norms mirror the states to it's north and generally differ from Virginia, North Carolina, & Tennessee. Today Maryland is considred a "blue state" politicaly.

So it was in the South, and now is considered to be in the North.

Answer 3

It's hard to classify. It's more than geography, it's also a cultural thing.

I live in a part of South Jersey that's below the Mason-Dixon Line and we're a little of both and probably similar to Maryland; fairly rural and relaxed, a little slow-paced and friendly like the South but fairly non-religious and mostly Democratic like the North.

Answer 4

maximum Marylanders have faith they're Northeners, extraordinarily because of the fact metropolitan Maryland is a factor of the Northeast hall. regardless of if, maximum Northerners might help understand that Maryland is Southern. the classic line between the North and the South is the Mason-Dixon which Maryland is south of. regardless of if, Maryland nevertheless had Jim Crow regulations and anti-miscegenation regulations up until eventually the 1960's. yet bypass to places like Salisbury, Frederick, Elkton, or Hagerstown and you will understand that there are nevertheless many Marylanders with southern accents and southern attitutdes.

Answer 5

It is south of the Mason-Dixon line: Pennsylvania/Maryland border. And it did allow slaves.

However, it remained in the union during the Civil War.
And it is now reliably Democratic in presidential elections.
I would say North.

Answer 6

I consider Southern MD (anything south of US 50) and the Eastern Shore to be the South. Everything else is considered North.

The Potomac River is a more accurate border between North and South. MD has always had a "Middle Temperment" due to its geography.
