Let's see...

Dole?  Nope -- that's Kansas.

Agnew?  Nah -- too much of a stretch to say Maryland is "South", even though it was a slave state.

I think you're right.

Maryland is south of the Mason-Dixon line.  And it was a slave state.

But it didn't secede.  And Marylanders fought for both the Union and the Confederacy in the Civil War. 

So ask a Marylander if he is a Southerner, and it might depend on how he views the Late Unpleasantness.
