the South was considered to be "below" the Mason-Dixon line
Symbolism[edit]

In popular usage, the Mason–Dixon line symbolizes a cultural boundary between the North and the South (Dixie). Originally "Mason and Dixon's Line" referred to the border between Pennsylvania and Maryland. After Pennsylvania abolished slavery, it served as a demarcation line for the legality of slavery. That demarcation did not extend beyond Pennsylvania because Delaware, then a slave state, extended north and east of the boundary. Also lying north and east of the boundary was New Jersey, where slavery was formally abolished in 1846, but former slaves continued to be "apprenticed" to their masters until the passage of the Thirteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution in 1865.

The Missouri Compromise line had a much clearer geographic connection to slavery in the United States leading up to the Civil War.[28]

How does a gay couple being out in public effect you? Unless you are a homophobe

Whenever I see lesbians kissing I start to video them with my phone.
They usually get mad when I ask if either of them is interested in being a unicorn a few times a month, then I get the F U's , then I tell them they will be with a straight couple tonight if they are there or not. And drive away..

It's a mid-Atlantic state. But, it's in the south. It was neutral in the Civil War.

Maryland voted not to secede. But then the Union declared martial law and controlled Maryland so that Washington, DC could not be surrounded by the Confederacy. Maryland was a slave-owning state. Since the Emancipation Proclamation only applied to those states/parishes in rebellion, it did not free the slaves in Union-controlled Maryland. The slaves in Maryland were not freed until the ratification of the 13th Amendment. These are historical facts.

Rather than hysteria about inanimate statues and memorials, it would be nice if politicians and "activists"/terrorists would actually focus on getting something done. Destroying property - especially public property - just means that precious dollars are wasted cleaning up the mess. That money would be better spent on something productive.

No one thinks of Maryland as a Southern State?

I beg to differ.Not that it makes any different to the ignorant person who made that statement.

I might add that no one I know worships any statue of a Confederate person.
No one considers these people as diety's.
Sap must be thinking of those people who worship at MLK Jr.s statue.

The Viet Nam Wall is not worshipped although thousands visit it daily. It is not worshipped.
It is just a memorial to those who fell in Viet Nam.

If history oppresses some people that is their problem, and not a reason destroy the things of the past.

hey dumbass, if you want to talk about technicalities Maryland was part of the north during the war. Slave state or not.

as for the idiocy that 'I did that'. maybe you can explain why you are so bent about me taking down something that I did in the first place? Did you forget that you claim to have your family's name on that monument in PLO? Did you forget that you claim your family proudly fought for the south? did you forget that you defend the confederacy and the various monuments that were erected tot he south as an eff you to desegregation?

I wonder what Lexington Park would look like if the South had won. My guess is that it would be clean, friendly, a bit rednecky, but otherwise, safe

Assuming, of course, that the south winning didnt have some other repercussions like the US not having the will or capacity to win both world wars.

Utter BS. Only Lincoln's military interventions in Maryland politics prevented Maryland from officially joining the Confederacy.

How many Maryland regiments were formed to fight with the CSA? Hmmm?

lets assume I conflated your story with someone else's. You still didn't answer about the other points I made about you proudly proclaiming your family fought for the south and you defending these monuments that you say were put up by the democrats. So that would make YOUR heritage those evil democrats you so despise. your self loathing is becoming a little more understandable
