Default Would you consider Maryland to be in the south?

This will probably get moved, but anyway, in your opinion do you think Maryland is a southern state? Please respond!!!

Yes. Maryland is south of the Mason-Dixon line. Doesn't that make it part of the South?

Ask any southerner that question and they will tell you Maryland is in the north. Many of the threads refer to Baltimore as having Yankees. Check out the North Carolina threads about people moving there from the north. One person mentioned something about taking 100,000 of them Yankees and putting them back in Baltimore. By the way, there are several threads on this topic.

At the same time, ask many Northerners the same question and they will tell you Marylaind is in the south. I would say it's mid-atlantic.

Maryland is a border state so answering this question is harder than you think.

In the urban areas of the Baltimore and Washington metropolitan regions, I would say there's a definite Northern attitude.

But the rural areas, especially in Southern Maryland (tobacco country) and lower Eastern Shore, there's a Southern vibe.

Go due north-northwest (in Western Maryland places like Frederick, Hagerstown, Cumberland, Hancock, Oakland) and you will find Northerners who are Southern sympathizers.

Maryland, by the way, is sometimes called "America in Miniature" because it has big cities, suburbs, quaint small towns, the mountains, rolling countryside, farmlands, the Atlantic, and of course, the Chesapeake Bay right smack in the middle.

In other words, it can be whatever your want, Northern or Southern or somewhere in between.
