During the period from the New Deal up until the Civil Rights Act of 1964, it appears that Maryland had the highest percentage of black GOP support: the counties with the highest percentage of black residents (Calvert, Charles, Somerset) almost always went Republican in the presidential elections (they voted for Landon over FDR in '36, for example).
My guess is that since many Maryland blacks were rural (Calvert and Charles were completely rural then), the New Deal may not have been as popular with them as it was with urban blacks.
