    Heute habe ich erfahren, dass das US Census Bureau Maryland, Delaware und den District of Columbia als Teil der südlichen USA betrachtet.

      Nowadays, I’d put 36 30’ as the dividing line, Mason Dixon’s no longer relevant.

      There are in fact places in Maryland where you will find folks with a southern identity. The DC burbs just tend to overshadow everything else.

      Reminder that Delaware was a slave state during the civil war and that along with Kentucky and West Virginia where the only states where slavery was still legal until the passage of the 13th Amendment. I wouldn’t qualify Delaware as southern now but i can certainly see why there was a time when people would.

      Yeah, Maryland probably would have seceded too if it wasn’t for the federal seat of power being in D.C so any effort was snuffed out early on.

      Now you see why Maryland was immediately militarily occupied during the Civil War, otherwise the Union’s capitol would be smack dab in the South.

      …..look into where people like Harriet Tubman and Frederick Douglas are from.

      Read “A Southern Star for Maryland” if you wish to learn more but Maryland had a significant slave population being more agriculturally based at the time, and their sympathies were clearly with the South. That’s why Lincoln suspended habeas corpus and other questionable steps, which had the north lost the war would’ve painted a different story about him.

      And Missouri was a slave state but isn’t considered „Southern“.

      There’s more to being a „Southern state“ than having once had slavery, folks.

      This is an administrative subdivision created by government bureaucrats.

      This is not meant to be a cultural region. A proper subdivision of the US into cultural regions (ie Deep South, Midwest, PNW) will not stick to state lines.

      I’ve seen more confederate flags in Maryland than any other state, and I spend a lot of time in georgia/florida/alabama/louisiana.

      Mason Dixon line from the 1800s separates Pennsylvania and Maryland. This was the standard line separating the north and south.

      Well Delaware was one of the last States in or out of the Confederacy to free its slaves only the Indian nations took longer.

      DC was the biggest slave trading port in this country at the time my guy.

      Have these nitwits never heard of the Mason-Dixon Line? Like wtf. We were taught this stuff in like 5th grade.
