Ummmmm, West Virginia may have been not as pro-Union as say Maine, but we were not in the Confederacy. We separated from Virginia in 1861 and was granted statehood, in the Union, in June 1863.

Back around 1978 or so, with our phone bill there was a "news letter or small stories about our area. One article said that the Mason-Dixon line at one time was two miles south of me. I'm in southern NJ. Some people that grew up here back then (mostly older men) did have a southern accent. Not a deep one but still the same was different than North Jersey. Crossing the Delaware bridge, it is a southern accent more pronounced in Maryland.

If you go by accents and attitudes, the Mason Dixon line is now somewhere just south of Ashland VA and slowing moving south

To be fair, until very recently, the northernmost Bojangles and Zaxby's restaurants were in Maryland.... Razz
