Maryland will forever and always be a southern state

-John Wilkes Booth himself was from Maryland
-The state had to be put under martial law to prevent them from seceding
-The state song pays homage to JWB, calls Lincoln a tyrant, etc. (does any other state song have something like this?)
I will die on the hill that Maryland is a southern state. If you have done your ancestry and you aren’t Cajun but descended from the people that settled the colonial and frontier south, you will likely find you have ancestors that started in Maryland before settling west.
No amount of yankee influence will change this. Virginia is still the south. Texas is still the south. Atlanta is still the south. Etc.
When we take back our country we will come back for Maryland!

No.
MD is a mid-Atlantic state.
VA - yes.
TX - meh.
Atlanta - no shite.

My ancestry is directly from Maryland, a lot of my surname's forebears can be found in cemeteries up there. My direct line has been in Louisiana though for the last hundred years. Great grandfather worked on the D-Day boats at Higgens Industries. LINK )

Maryland's state flag looks like something you'd see in a European History textbook about the Holy Roman Empire.

I'd say Texas is more southern than Maryland. Maryland today is not "southern" whatsoever and back in the day, probably was hanging by threads on that definition.

definitely lol
If we're talking about lowercase "southern states" then sure go ahead and throw Texas in the mix. If we're talking capital letter "The South"..then no. In that regard Texas is sort of it's own kinda thing but I'd call it more Southwestern than Southern. Florida isn't "The South" either and maryland for DAMN sure isn't.

I lived in Frederick County for over 20 years, Frederick, Washington, Allegheny counties are Southern along with the Eastern Shore. The Amtrak Northeast Corridor areas are absolutely not.

Texas, Florida, and Virginia aren't the Deep South, but they're still southern states.

Sounds like you’re borderline embarrassed to live in/be from Maryland. Are people you know from the actual south calling you a Yankee?
Are you referring to culturally? Can’t say for sure but I have a hard time imagining Maryland being culturally akin to Mississippi or Georgia let alone upper south states like Kentucky or NC.
Geographically it’s mid Atlantic. Right there with Delaware and Virginia. You can’t really refer to someone as a yankee unless they’re from Jersey, NYC or PA. So technically Maryland is quite literally the line. It’s a buffer zone so to speak. It’s not Yankee and it’s not southern.
I think the same of Oklahoma and Missouri except it’s a buffer between the Midwest and southwest with a southeastern flare in there thanks to Arkansas.

If you didn't secede you aren't a southern state. That is the criteria.

People who do not think Maryland was traditionally a southern state do not know their history. 
But people who think it is still a state with Southern values are just not paying attention.
Maryland is below the Mason-Dixon line.
The real question is what is West Virginia?

Neither does Maryland’s.
They got rid of “Maryland, my Maryland” in 2021
