I clearly belive that Maryland/Virginia are southern states!
Many People object to the idea of Virginia and Maryland being southern. Im from Maryland so I know. I hate it when people that don't know me come in my face with all that "yankee" crap...i aint no yankee...im myself! And I absolutly HATE when people say that VA an MD are rude, inconciterate, uneducated, boring, bad drivers. Im fun, nice, and filled with GREAT hospitality.
Next Subject: Civil war/M&D line.
If everyone knows that MD and VA are BELOW the Mason Dixon Line... why do some people feel the need to say that MD and VA are Northern????
It's quite -how can i say- IDIOTIC! Yes, folks, I know that the MDL was not made to divide the north and the south, but It's pretty usefull to divide the two. Doncha think???...About the civil war...VA was apart of the confeds...i can't lie, BUT MD was FORSED to become apart of the union and most of the people wanted to be with the feds.(yuddah im sayin)...

I'm living in Northern part of West Virginia now...I moved down from NY and they called me a Yankee for a long time and still do...but in reality West Virginia helped the north and because of that it became a separate state in 1863...soooo...for a West Virginian to call me a Yankee would be like the pot calling the kettle black...lol. Virginia is definitely southern and I would have to say Maryland is too. I'm assuming that whoever said that Md & Va were rude, never been to Eastern side of Kentucky or the south western part of West Virginia....cause if your not from around those areas....they want you to move on whether your black or white.

It doesn't really matter much in this day and age, but I would certainly consider both states to be part of the South. The boundary has conventionally been the Mason-Dixon line. But the situation is fuzzed a bit in that Virginia joined the Confederacy while Maryland didn't.

In the Civil War, Virginia was considered "south". Richmond was actually the Southern Capital. Maryland was a border state, but I'm pretty sure there were many slaveholders there. Many battles were fought in VA.

Sorry, MD and VA are North AND South. Virginia was the capitol of the Confederacy. How could it possibly be a Northern State??? But despite your wishes, MD was recorded by history as a Northern State. The people of LOTS of states sympathized with the South.
Right, Kentucky?
