Maryland is both one of the Southern United States and the South Atlantic States (look it up, US Census). Both geographically and historically it has been a southern state; it's right below the Mason Dixon Line! If the U.S. Government hadn't put the state under martial law during the civil war, it would of seceded to the confederecy! One of the stars on the stars and bars represents Maryland! Marylanders do speak with a southern accent; ex. Baltimorese, Eastern Shore, ex. The only reason some people may not speak with an accent is because they were born out of state or live in and around DC, which is an international city.Lisean,I am a northerner.I grew up in New York City. I've been to and through Maryland-ANYTHING south of Jersey and PA (Delaware and West Virginia included)is the south. Get over it, people.
I'm going down south to Maryland.
