They are not culturally southern or so forth. :-)

But the Mason-Dixon line does separate MD from the Yanks. I was strictly speaking geographically. Real southerners MIGHT call MD a "border state" when feeling generous. ;-)

Southern Pedigree: Being born in CA is an anomaly in my line - my southern roots are far and deep - Tennessee going back for 175+ years, Virginia a little farther back, North Carolina about the same as VA, South Carolina during Revolutionary War times, and Alabama at about 160+ years or so back. 1 3x-great-grandfather and 2 2x-great-grandfathers were Confederate soldiers, and I lived in TN and VA for 15 1/2 of my first 20 years. We left CA before I was even 2, so my first memories are of Hixson, TN, in the shadow of Lookout Mountain! :D
