@DurhamRebel Nice. As Southerners we are a nation of peope. Lines on a map don't define us - our culture, values and identity do. There are people in southern Ohio, southern Illinois and southern Missouri who are culturally Southern and support the South. These people are part of the Southern nation.

I'm African American, but I agree Maryland is a southern state.

@LongshotRecordsTV Thank you, Longshot.

You know, sometimes I grow sick of other Southron brothers competing against each other about which state is South or not. That's what the feds like to see, we being divided and not agreeing with each other. Dixie is Dixie: Florida, Maryland, Missouri, northern Virginia, Texas, Oklahoma, Kentucky are as Southron as my own state of Mississippi and they are NOT going to be taken away from us without a fight. The Confederacy was an united, strong nation. We have to keep that spirit alive, TOGETHER!

I'm from Maryland and even in parts of northern Maryland you will see confederate flags and hear accents. I would say that most rural places in maryland are still southern

[liquidxit2]

Amen brother. These are tough times in maryland where the NE swarm continues to attempt to bring the state to the north. I for one get sick over this every time someone says we are not apart of dixie. Last time I checked I lived SOUTH of the line and last time I checked I was raised by southern ways. The same southern ways I plan to raise my children. I proudly stand strong as a son of the south and ALWAYS will. Maryland, my maryland!

@HUNTER112394 for real.. if u spend time on the Eastern Shore of Maryland, (and areas around Lusby, Md) where they are close to Virginia (& still live in primarily rural communities), they look almost identical to Dixie.

The same is basically true of western Maryland, which resembles Appalachian Virginia & Kentucky.

Its too bad that the thugs and Liberals who populate Baltimore & suburban DC, make up the bulk of MD's population, & mostly define Maryland's image & destiny. peace

That's cool! I have to look that episode up. Thanks.

@RyuDekay you should really do your research. The majority of MAryland was southern, but they were literally FORCED to stay in the union by Lincoln. This was done so he could keep the union capital in DC without being surrounded by the CSA. Half of the Maryland flag is southern. I dont think you live here (I do) and most of the people I know say it is southern, and it is. The culture, geography, and people reflect many more southern properties than northern ones. Dont be so ignorant you idiot.

Maryland IS a southern state. It was only in the north because of that ASS Lincoln. The culture here is incredibly southern. Ive grown up here, and have always lived here, and when people call Maryland the North I am very upset. My father is from Louisiana, and even he agrees Maryland is a southern state. Just look at the flag, the Crossland quarters of the flag are direct remnants of sourthen flags flown through Maryland during the war of Northern Aggression!

[owls4life611]

Ive lived and still live in the Annapolis area, and I'd have to say it is a Southern state.

BTW Maryland only stayed part of the north because Lincoln arrested many Maryland officials so Maryland wouldn't turn to the confederacy.

@RyuDekay Wow, that's brilliant. I'm sure none of us are aware that our ancestors were invaded and conquered by the Feds. I'm sure that none of us are aware that we live in an occupied Southland.
