[QUOTE="ErichDragon, post: 1069298, member: 2719"] Not to get into politics, just history: Maryland was officially a neutral state during the Civil War. In fact, Union troops enacted martial law in the city of Baltimore because there was so much pro-confederate sentiment that it became dangerous to move troops or goods through the city. Units raised from Maryland served in both the Army of the Potomac and the Army of Northern Virginia. There is a monument at the Gettysburg battlefield to soldiers from Maryland. It depicts two obviously related men who are wounded, helping each other off the battlefield. One is in a Federal uniform, the other CSA. On to the debate at hand. I could go on all day about how much I think DC and NoVA suck. Obviously some people like it and I say that's ok by me since it keeps those people away from my beloved Baltimore. :D [/QUOTE]
