Spotted White Lifted FSJ on Rt 5 in MD

Saw you heading south or East (whatever that direction) around 5pm. Looked good.

Ummm last time I live there Maryland was in the North Eastern region of the states, but it has been quite a long time ago maybe they moved it.

:rolleyes: MD is still below the Mason-Dixon. Hasn't moved a bit.

snoopy is actually correct. MD is a Northern state. Mason Dixon line or not, the North/South debate is all about who was on which side during the civil war. I put it in the incorrect place since I am from VA and I am a southerner.

E_digg, are you currently in Southern MD?

Hijack...

Really? And which side was MD on? The way I was taught and remember American history; Marylanders' hearts were with the South; they resisted and Lincoln poured troops from the Mass. 6th into Baltimore to stem the riots. They marched on to DC and then occupied MD until after the war's end. Officially MD took a neutral stance during the war.

However, MD men volunteered and filled ranks on both sides.

The 25,000 Confederate troops were volunteers and the 60,000 Union troops were mostly draftees/conscripts or volunteers promised garrison duty in MD.

John Wilkes Booth was from MD. :o :p

There are Confederate monuments in Easton and Rockville and one to R.E Lee in Baltimore.

Ever heard of 'The Maryland Line'?

I used to skip rocks across the river from our house in Potomac, MD to Great Falls, VA.


School me. ;)

No. I live in Falls Church, VA. I was out there visiting a client in Prince Frederick.

Maryland got that nickname in the 1920s. They were against prohibition. :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Maryland is 'The Old Line State'. George Washington is responsible for that nickname...
