Since when is Maryland not part of New England?

[Mears]

Since forever.

[Bruce Campbells Chin]

Since 1620.

"New England" was the name assigned to specific territories in the New World by Royal Charter in 1620. The territory covered include parts of the states of Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island.

It does not include New York or Pennsylvania, and clearly not Maryland, which is to the south of both of those states.

[The Deplorable Miss Lemon]

Maryland is a Piedmont State.

[To Hell With Poverty]

SINCE FOREVER. :)

Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut and Rhode Island. That’s it.

Notably also absent: New York and New Jersey.

We are considered part of the Mid-Atlantic states.

Since forever. Maryland is south of the Mason-Dixon line. Lincoln had to send federal troops into Maryland to keep it from seceding. The official star song “Maryland, My Maryland” contains “northern scum” in the lyrics.

I had to look it up because I would have called it New England but apparently, although it is one of the original 13, it’s not technically ‘new england’. Here in Missouri, I’d say many of us would call that New England. One of all them yankee states up in thar.
