As already noted, Maryland was a slave state, which would form part of that opinion. Also, if one wants to look literally, Maryland is also one of the six most southern of the original 13 colonies. Though I would have expected most southerners would have begun to exclude it when it sided with the union in the War of Northern Aggression.
