When I was a kid in rural Howard County, we used to have North/South brawls on the elementary school playground. We always used to joke that Maryland was the state that re-fought the Civil War every day.
I was an unabashed Yankee, of course. We used to have some terrible fights.

And that sums up MD politics to this very day....:)
