"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.
Isn’t Maryland the state that charges people with felonies for driving though the state with the wrong gun in your car?
