Maryland may not have been a Union state by choice, but due to Federal interference it remained in the Union.
It sort of had to from a Northern perspective as if it would of become a Confederate state, Washington DC would have been surrounded.
Oh noesss! Quick run around in circles!
That would include a fair number of asshats who post on this forum
A few racist idiots huh
Jesus
Petards enjoy
X isn’t this your home state?
Walton County, Florida voted against secession but when Florida did secede, it sent just about all it’s Sons to fight for the South.
I hope I heard Laura ingraham

This is a doozy.
But, but, progressivism got it’s start from a leading Confederate. You’d think they would all be a little more welcoming to the Confederate flag:

I missed it- what did you hear?
South bashes and neo conservatives
Same pile of excrement
Anyhow
They are facile about Dixie
She elaborated well
She gets it I think
She was critiquing Hollywood south demonizing ala Benioff and Weiss
The usual drivel dates back to Meathead
How many Marylanders joined the Confederate Army and fought against the Union?
More than a few I guess, but only about a third of the number who fought for the Union.
The fact that that a relatively small number of people appropriated a symbol from the Maryland flag does not make the Maryland flag Confederate. Far more Marylanders supported the Union, so the Maryland flag would be more accurately viewed as being anti-Confederate, just as the flag of New York or Pennsylvania.
Whether you view people who would leave their homes to support the Confederacy and slavery as racist idiots is up to you.
I call them that not to besmirch Marylanders in general, and certainly not the Marylanders of today. But to travel south to support the Confederacy and slavery in 1861 you would have to be a racist, and given the futility of the cause, idiot could not be far from the truth.
I remember learning that song in the 4th Grade. We were particularly enthusiastic on the “Northern Scum” line.
Virtue signaling is your forte i see
And facile logic
Keep going
