Is Maryland Part of New England? -

No, the New England States are Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachussetts, Rhode Island and Connecticut. Maryland is traditionally considered a Southern state, although in recent decades, as it has more culturally, politically and economically in common with the Middle Atlantic States of Pennsylvaia, New Jersey and New York, it is now along with Delaware often considered a Middle Atlantic State.EDIT: I said Maryland was traditionally considered a Southern State (though it was not part of the Confederacy), and the US census bureau considers it part of the south. Having said that it has more in common with the mid-Atlantic states than with Virginia, North Carolina, etc.

No, and Maryland is definitely not a southern state!! It has much more in common with the northern VA, DC crowd than a southern state! I would say it is closer to the New York, mid Atlantic region, culturally and economically.

Nope! Maryland would be considered a middle Atlantic state.
