Is dc north or south?

Question

i got the answer to MD but i wanna noe the answer to Washington DC

Answer 1

South big time, the North wanted slaves remember. The south was the one with Abe.

Answer 2

Arguments could be made both ways. Historically, it is probably more Southern - and it IS below the Mason-Dixon Line. Although, it WAS the capital city of the Union (North) during the Civil War. Maryland sent troops to both sides of the war because it was a very divided state (and probably would have seceded had Lincoln not instituted martial law in the state and therefore suspended their right to secede). However I digress.... I actually grew up in the suburbs of Washington DC and have since moved to New England. I never thought of DC or Maryland as Southern at all (nobody from the area would really consider it "southern") although when I now go back to visit, I see elements of it being more Southern. For example there are magnolias in Washington DC... HUGE ones right near the White House even. The local cusisine... i.e. fried seafood... is more Southern. Both Maryland and DC have populations of African-Americans that are much more like most Southern states. However, since the Civil War, Maryland and DC have become much closer to the North. So basically I would argue that it has elements of both, but in modern times it is much more like a Northern city.

And as far as Southern accents: In rural Maryland, and some of the less educated people, have very Southern sounding accents.

Answer 3

yes but if one considers the demographic makeup of DC, I would (as would many) consider it to be part of the north. It's population is much more liberal. Same goes for Maryland which has the majority of the population in suburbs of DC or Baltimore who are liberal and the rest of the population in rural areas and are usually conservative.

Answer 4

DC has always been considered a Southern town - before, during and after the Civil War.

Answer 5

Any place that is bellow the Mason Dixon line which is basically the boarder of Penn. Maryland. So Maryland and bellow is South, and Penn up is North.

Answer 6

The south is the ones who wanted slavery not the north.
