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. I don't know why people always say Maryland is a northern state jus listen to the state song " Maryland my Maryland" its about overthrowing Lincoln and fighting for the south. just my 2 cents
Yes, Maryland is considered to be a southern state and it was a southern colony.
