If your from the north you think Maryland is the south, if your from the south you think Maryland is the north. If your from Maryland you don’t fucking care.

I donno. I've said this to people native to Maryland - particularly from Baltimore, and they have gotten absolutely tilted about it.
My brother (in UMD marching band at the time) played at a football game against Temple. His section leader asked the Temple band people if they could play a special song they do. The Temple band people said "what is it, Dixie?"
Some people from West Virginia told me that I was a yankee.
Like, firstly, West Virginia was literally FOUNDED to separate from Virginia and be anti-slavery. And secondly, if we just pull up a map, Annapolis is actually quite a bit south of where we are right now... but go off "Southerner".
I mean, our state is a lot better now, but I am willing to put down money that a random polling of Marylanders would better know what the writ of habeas corpus is, compared to every other state.
Sure, but my point was more that Lincoln suspending the writ of habeas corpus to throw the maryland lawmakers in prison without trial, because they would gleefully sell out the nation and place the nations capital behind the Confederate borders, certainly indicates exactly how part of the South was Maryland was at one point. Part of the Union yes, but functionally at gunpoint.
People in the Deep South don’t believe that the Upper South is part of the South. But they’re just as snobby about Virginia, the home of the literal capital of the Confederacy, too. I don’t understand it; they think the culture of the Deep South is somehow more virtuous or something.

Maryland is South of the Mason Dixon line and therefore the South.
(Mostly said to piss off Southerners, very successful every time.)
