Does anyone think MD is a nothern state in the real sense? It's below the Mason-Dixon line people![/quote]

[b]Yes, real southerners consider Maryland to be a northern state[/b]. [/quote]

+1  I'm a native of Virginia, and when I moved to Maryland some of my family started referring to me as a Yankee -- and this was in the 1980's!

I grew up seeing the Confederate flag on a regular basis; it was typically rough, 'redneck' people who would display it. The attitude was that the South 'would rise again' and wouldn't let the northern states tell them what to do and how to run things. Like many kids, I didn't think about the flag being racist, but rather a symbol of being proud to be from the South.

What would the south rise again to do?  And what exactly do you think the north was telling the south to do?[/quote]
