Maryland's Union soldiers outnumbered the Confederate soldiers significantly, so your point is moot.

Actually he does...Maryland's 60,000 Union soldiers and 20,000 Confederate soldiers is strong proof of this. And that's plenty of proof.

But still does not take away from the Fact that Maryland is a Southern state.......
It also doesn't take away from the fact that you're leaning on the Mason-Dixon for dear life while you get overwhelmed with evidence pointing to the contrary. And it also doesn't take away from the fact that the Mason Dixon hasn't been an accurate representation of the boundaries between North and South for over 150 years. Culture, demographics, and linguistics all point to the true boundaries of the south lying at least 100 miles below the designated Mason-Dixon. the Census Bureau has it wrong, and it's no opinion to state that culture, demographics, and linguistics don't correspond to it, because they don't....even the census bureau's data will show you that. Just leave if your only interest is stirring the point, complaining like a little kid, and using a defense which has clearly been destroyed and attacked by every poster on here except you.

The Mason-Dixon line was created to settle a boundary dispute between Maryland and Pennsylvania.

If Maryland had their way, Philly would be in Maryland. If PA had their way, then Baltimore would be in Pennsylvania.

Sorry but despite any arguments, Maryland is a Southern State and there ain't a thing that is going to change it.........

Actually it is the other way around where you and some other people here are of annoyance by arguing against solid facts of Maryland being a Southern state...

You realize what you just said makes PA, NY and NJ southeastern right? Maybe you'd like that, who knows.
PA, NJ, and NY are not New England States however they are Northeastern states....

And again despite your arguments it will not dictate against the Fact that Maryland is a Southern State.......

Your point is that despite Facts you continue to ramble pointless arguments against Maryland being a Southern state....

I get it that you do not like Maryland due to dislike of Baltimore, DC, Civil War Bitterness, or whatever but that will not ever dictate against the Fact that Maryland is a Southern State........

Lets see here:

Despite Faulty Numbers, You stated that Maryland had Confederate Soldiers....

Maryland is below the Mason Dixon Line...

When the Nations Capital was in the Final Plans of of locating in they want the Capital to be in the upper region of the South in which DC at the time was 100% Property of the state of Maryland......

Despite your Arguments Maryland is a Southern state..............
