People with no exposure to living in the South or Midwest would possibly mistake a southern accent for a midwest accent and vice versa. Baltimore is the definite winner in this case.

How is this even a question?

For starters, Baltimore is below the Mason-Dixon Line.

Wait what?

I always thought Virginia was the dividing line.

Maryland was a Border State, the same as Delaware, Kentucky and Missouri. Those states never left the Union but they did have slavery. There is controversy about all those states which region of the country they are apart of.

but ''the south'' was defined by the Mason-Dixon Line regardless of which states left the union in our 2nd revolution known as the Civil War.

Any poll with two options that has one option winning by 100%, should not be a poll, and is quite frankly a useless thread.

That's not necessarily true. The Mason Dixon line had nothing to do with north or south. The M-D line was the result of a land dispute between Maryland and Pennsylvania. If MD has it's way, Philly would be in Maryland, and if PA had their way, Baltimore would be in Pennsylvania.

Maryland/Delaware border is also the Mason Dixon line, yet Delaware is classified as a southern state as well per the Census.
