Maryland was a border state. It was a slave state that did not succeed from the union during the civil war mainly because Lincoln had the army take Annapolis before the state legislature could vote on succession.
The famed Mason-Dixon line was known as the slave/free north/south border. This is the line that separates Pennsylvania from Maryland.
