Really I think going up to Kent County, MD you can find the South, which is a lot closer than Stafford VA.

None of Maryland is the south, not even the eastern shore

I am serious, I've driven 95 from Philadelphia all the way to Jacksonville, and Baltimore and DC are the Northeast especially culturally. It isn't until south of Quantico,VA that you escape that NE sphere of influence

Yes, I don't see what the controversy is, Baltimore and Washington are Northeastern cities

I disagree. Maryland, Baltimore and DC is not completely southern or outright southern, but it is also not Northeastern either. The eastern shore of Maryland is definitely southern. In all, the Baltimore/DC/MD area has its own unique transitional vibe with both northern and southern traits.

That's a common sentiment although a bit debatable, but that has nothing to do with your original statement that "None of Maryland is the south, not even the eastern shore." DC isn't in Maryland and there's a lot of Maryland outside of Baltimore, which you probably didn't even see.
