Everyone I know from Maryland says y'all. They have Baptist Churches and BBQ joints everywhere. They are big into hunting, fishing, and shooting. They do Sunday night big family dinners. They do crab feasts instead of crawfish boils. The culture reminds me most of Louisiana in most places outside of DC and Baltimore.

Maryland Catholics were hardcore and involved in the Confederate Secret Service. They included John Wilkes Booth, Mary Surratt, and Dr. Samueal Mudd.

Parts of western Virginia have those same German influences as well. Some areas were first settled by Germans in fact!
My FiL had some ancestors who were Hessians captured at Trenton and held in Frederick, MD, as prisoners of war. After the war, they opted to stay and be a part of this country.

What are the crab cakes like? I've heard of their crab cakes but never been there to try them. I bet without Cajun seasoning they suck.

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

Maryland has the best crabs and crab cakes in the country. You’d be surprised but the culture in Southern Maryland and the Eastern Shore feels very similar to Louisiana in a lot of ways.

East Texas is most definitely southern. Like North Louisiana, East Texas was settled by people from the Carolinas, North Georgia an Northern Alabama.

West and central Texas were settled by people from Arkansas, Tennessee, Missouri, Kentucky, and the virginias.

Maryland has more in common with states like NJ than it does the South. It’s a heavily urbanized state where the majority of its population lives in the Baltimore-Washington metro area. It’s voter demographic, especially those who live in the outlying DC suburbs, falls in the same category as ones from NJ: wealthy, secular, and highly educated. You’re an idiot if you think it’s a southern state because it’s not at all.

While marching through Maryland, Lee's Army of Northern Virginia had almost no Marylanders rally to the Stars and Bars.
Not a southern state.

I love the state of Maryland. There is a primal type connection between people of La and people of Maryland. Baltimorans are a different breed.

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.
He's not wrong. I've researched my paternal and maternal ancestry back to the 1620s (in the "new world") and both side started in Maryland and/or Virginia.
and yes, several fought in the American Revolution and both sides of the Civil War.
However, Maryland is a small "s" southern state.

I'd say Delaware away from the beach is more southern than Maryland
