∙ 12y agoMaryland is technically a border state, but if you use the Mason-Dixon line as a dividing line, then consider Maryland as a Southern state.
During the civil war, Maryland was an occupied state. Although it did not secede from the Union, about half the citizens supported the south.

Maryland is infact a southern state, it is the first state of the south as it boarders the mason dixon line and the north begins with penn. As far as the civil war in concerned the state of Maryland was put under marshall law because if Maryland left the union then the capital would be surrounded by the confederates. Many marylanders feld the state and fought for the army of northern Virginia under gen Robert. E Lee and most of the state had southern ties. I also beleave that the state did vote for succeeding from the union but was denied and then put under the marshall law. don't quote me on that one tho. Many people think that Maryland wanted to fight for the Yankees but the truth is the majority of the state wanted to succeed but were denied. Today Maryland is a little bit of both as northerners and southerners have moved here.
