Wow - you sure demonstrated your lack of knowledge of history and geography and the civil war.  MARYLAND, where I grew up, is south of the Mason Dixon Line and was a split state in the civil war. The neighborhood I grew up in was built on a slave owning plantation. The first battles of the civil war were fought there.  John Wilkes Booth was from Maryland. People were on both sides. I mean, how can we take what you say at all seriously when you don't even know basic facts nor do you bother to inform yourself.
