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.

Maryland is considered to be a South Atlantic state by the US Census Bureau and commonly known to be south of the Mason-Dixon line, a surveying line that symbolizes the cultural boundary between the Northern and Southern United states. Maryland was a part of the "Old South" in the Thirteen original colonies and was a border state in the Civil War, fighting for both the North and the South. Maryland's position as a border state in the Civil War has led it to exhibit characteristics of both the Northern and Southern United States. Migration from the Northeast has made the once southern cities of Washington D.C. and Baltimore to exhibit a more northern culture while the Western, Southern, and Eastern Shore regions of the state have maintained the culture of the Old South. Maryland is more commonly known to be a Mid-Atlantic state with similar cultural characteristics to West Virginia, Northern Virginia, and Delaware.
